BrytonRider 750E GPS Bike/Cycling Computer. USA Version. Color Touchscreen, Maps & Navigation, Smart Trainer Workout, Radar Support, 20hr Battery. Incl. Device & Sport Mount

Looking to replace my aging Garmin Edge 1000 who's battery is long shot, I had been researching Wahoo and Hammerhead units when I stumbled upon the Bryton.At first glance, it looks like a near direct replacement. Same screen size, same resolution. Pairs with ANT+ radars (Varia is the only one I know of though), pairs with ANT+ sensors (or bluetooth). Plus "turn by turn" navigation.I put that in quotes because that's the stickler with this unit. I love the unit (mostly) otherwise. Sensor pairing is a breeze. I used it with my Garmin heart strap and Trek's duotrap cadence/speed sensor. The minor quibbles other reviewers mentioned about lag time with the screen seem to have been resolved completely, as the unit seems much faster than my old Edge 1000, especially locating the satellites.I also like using the app to configure the unit, it's very slick. Configuring screens on the unit itself is basically identical to how I do it on my Edge 1000. The app also syncs with services like Strava or RideWithGPS and pulls your routes directly from them. Great! The two minor issues I have are the charging port (micro USB - really?) and screen contrast during bright daylight - could be better.However, the one thing I really can't recommend this unit for is basically what it's being marketed for - turn by turn navigation. It's very cumbersome, and doesn't work properly - or at least not like any of the other units work. Which is a shame. I lead group rides with our club, and rely on my Garmin instead of cue sheets.First, you have to process any routes you pull from RideWithGPS or Strava to make turn by turn instructions. The unit won't do so itself, like the Garmin units do.You also really have to create the routes with one of those services, as using the Bryton app to do so is terrible. It's near impossible to draw a route along a minor road next to a major road, as the app defaults to the major road. There is one route segment I use that comes off a major road, uses a small side road and then turns left to go straight across the major road. It's much safer than trying to make a left turn while on the major road. The app won't let me make this segment, but Garmin connect and RideWithGPS do it everytime.Navigation while riding is also nearly nonexistent. First, the unit does not give you any actual turn warnings. The Garmins and Wahoos will alert you about a tenth of a mile before a turn, and then again at the turn and pop up a mini-map showing the turn. The Bryton doesn't do any of that, which basically forces you to leave the map screen up all the time. You can add "turn info" data to one of your main screens, but you're forced to use a large data section to do so - the data pages can be split to display up to 12 sections. Only screens using 7 or less sections can display graphics, and only the 6 section screens with 2 graphic sections display turn info correctly with name, turn arrow and distance to.Also, the turn info generated by the app is often not accurate. I have had several turns where the arrow displayed showed to go straight, but it was actually at turn or a slight turn. Unless you're really paying attention to the street name, you'll miss the turn.Lastly, re-routing when you go off course is problematic at best. You must have your phone paired to the unit, and also have data - good luck if you ride in rural areas with spotty coverage. I've also found it to confuse the unit and try to route me miles away. For example, on a recent metric century we ventured off route to make a rest stop at a gas station. To get back on course, we simply had to travel down one road and make a left - but the unit tried to re-route me to a spot before we went off course. It wasn't until several miles later it realized I was back on course, and re-routed to show me back on course.So if you're looking for navigation - look elsewhere. If Bryton would fix that area, I would whole heartedly recommend the unit. Instead, I'll probably be returning it and picking up a Wahoo or Garmin.

For a couple weeks I was watching and reading reviews about bike computers online when I stumbled on one about this Bryton. Having spent a long time going through the boat-loads of different bike computers and information out there and mulling whether or not I really needed this or that feature, I finally settled on giving it a try. The decision was mainly sparked from having used my smart watch for trainings for the longest time.I’ve been on a couple rides since I got it and I can say that this was a heck of an upgrade. On top of looking better on the bike, it’s much more convenient to use while riding.Also one of the things that stood out and pushed me to get this one was that it supports radar which makes me feel a bit safer safer. It’s nice to know that I’m not gonna get clipped from behind.Super happy with it.

This is an excellent unit that beats the price/feature compared to Wahoo Bolt and Garmin Edge 530 that I was cross shopping. I ultimately decided on this because of the Bolt (v2) quality issue and the touchscreen/phone setting over Edge 530. I have no issue with the headunit and am very satisfied with my decision. After every ride the data is sync automatically to Bryton Active and I have no issue with the firmware update (am running the latest firmware R059.013.0005).Battery life is good as I have ridden 60 miles (3.5 hours) with speed/cadence, HR, and radar sensors with GPS+QZSS+Galileo as GNS setting, and the battery indicator did not show any drop. Everything else is set to factory default (screen brightness, backlight, and etc). The default screen brightness is fine for me as I can read it fine while under bright sun as well as road covered with thick tree overhangs. I also like the graphical interface (i.e. ring or bar) that display data differently than traditional headunit.Paired with Garmin Varia RTL515, the audio and visual alarms are timely and I can hear the loud audio beeps (2 beep for detected car, 1 beep for car passing follow by 1 additional beep if nothing is detected).With the latest firmware, I do not find any issue with the lag of the system. It's responsive enough for me to ride, but I can see issue where riders are accustomed to the latest phone and instant information that the "pace" of this headunit can be slower than norm. I ride with using only one page 95% of the time thoughThe only nagging issue with the headunit itself is the side scrolling to go through data field, but I use the lower right button to scroll and so I do not find the touchscreen scrolling during ride to be a deal breaker.On the other hand, the companion mobile app is something else, it is fine for setting up the headunit over the phone, but if you want to use the mobile app to plan a route I highly suggest using a 3rd party and then export the GPX or link the profile (such as Komoot) to save yourself from frustration and headache with the native Bryton navigation app. The app is definitely not as good as the competition. I'm using Android and lived through the "clipped map" update. Otherwise, the app serves its purpose and the overall package is a hard to beat value proposition to the competition.

I have been using the Rider 750 for about 4 months. I really liked it but the battery has gone bad and dies after only about 3 hours. Supposed to last something like 20 hours! Have contacted support, will advise how that goes and update review when it is fixed or not.I contacted support and received this reply the next day on Dec 1st, "Thank you for contacting us. Please help provide the purchase proof and your shipping address, we will arrange the replacement unit for you."On the same day I sent them the requested information. Since then, I have sent 2 more emails asking what is going on with the replacement but have not received any reply as of Dec 8th. So far, customer service is not good. Will update review if they ever respond.Update 12/23/2022.Did not hear back from Bryton support so I sent another request for support through their web site. Then on the 11th I again got the same message to provide address and receipt and they would arrange for a replacement. Then on the 13th I got an email asking me to send the unit back to an address in Irvine CA which I did the same day. I have not heard from them since then and I will be surprised if I ever get the unit back. Terrible service so far.Update 1/23/2023. I finally received the replacement computer on December 30th. I have been using it for about 2 weeks total (was on vacation for 1 week). New unit working great. I do like the computer, especially for the price. Hopefully the new one's battery will hold up better than the first.

I've been using it over 1 month now, I found this device need some improvement on gps sensitivity. When I used it local trail, it seemed to skipping track- It is ok on the street though. The trail is 6.8 miles long but the bryton 750 recorded 5.9 miles only. I tested 2 weeks ago and today. The weather was clear both tests and got the distance almost same. I've been mtb riding this local trail for 20 yrs. I have so many riding history with multiple device. It should be 6.8 miles of trail. I should find out the gps sensitivity problem earlier, then I could return the 750. Now I bought it over a month that I can't return it. I had to buy a speed sensor and put it on my mtb to get correct speed and distance. I suggest the bryton engineer that test and improve this device on the mtb trail not only street.
