Bryton S810 Bike Computer

[havox07]

Not seen too many reviews but the specs and price look pretty promising, anyone own one and can comment on it first hand?

Yes I have been using a Bryton 750 since it first came out.  Its been solid for me and I have no complaints and have no plans in replacing it, unless it dies on me.  I also had a 310 before that and again, it just worked and never faulted.  Used for years on end and then ended up selling it

I've been using an S800 (the predecessor of the the 810) for a couple years now. 

I like it well enough that i don't see any reason to change. 

Battery life is good, the 810 is even better.

It readily pairs with everything i've ever paired it to. 3 different hrm's, 2 cadence sensors, 2 speed sensors, a power meter, a smart trainer, and a watch.

The routing is pretty straight forward, and it synced with RideWithGPS and Strava with zero fuss. make routes, boom they are there in the app.  finish a ride, boom its on strava.  The Bryton route builder is fine too but not as easy to use as the free RWGPS.

I recently traveled from the US to Germany for a week of work and took a bike with me, I downloaded the German gps file from the Bryton website into the computer and the routing/navigation worked as flawlessly as it does in my hometown.  It even understood a couple of horribly pronounced shops and cafes in the voice nav.

I like the group ride feature, although I only have 1 friend who has a Bryton computer that it works with and I hardly ever ride with him so I haven't gotten to use the feature much, it was neat to know he was coming along on the route without stopping to call or look at my phone for his location.

The only mild complaint / learning curve I have had with it was being patient and understanding that I had to turn on the computer, let it boot up, THEN turn on my phone app and let it fully boot and connect before selecting a route and riding off or i'd be grumpily fiddling with it on the move.   I don't know if the S810 uses your phone as its major source of data like the 800, but it can be slow/laggy to give you reroutes at times.

I do kind of wish the S800 had strava live segments on it, but not enough to go out and buy another computer.

I had edge 530 for 2 years, then edge 840, and I was done with Garmin. I was waiting too long for training, for routes for everything. The device for working slower and slower with a lot of bugs.

I have been using Bryton S810 for almost a month now. I'm pretty impressed in general. Battery is great, usage is very easy, not issues with the device itself at all! I used navigation, working without any problem, uploading tracks, training, I would say that the biggest advantage of Garmin is the app and the whole software package. Bryton app is very simple, no additional cycling data and analysis like in Garmin app.

I'm riding almost every day, using S810 as my primary training device. All is working perfectly with even option to pause the workout, so it's great! You can even zoom in, zoom out etc. For me, the overall rate is 5+/6, only due to the lack of support of Sram Etap Axs additionals buttons. I was using that to change the screen on Garmin. I really love it!

Awesome to hear some real user experience, any chance you can confirm more details regarding the battery life? Is it really on upwards of 50 hours? How does the screen compare to the 840 for reflections and brightness, and any confirmation of the resolution? Thanks!

[Mariuszuzd]

Hi, well, I cannot confirm the 50 hours, but I think I charged it once, and I have it almost a moth now. I ride almost very day, including some 4h ride, so the battery is the best! The screen is similar, you have quick panel, where you can change the screen brightness very quickly and easily. In my opinion Is very good, no issues on the bright and full light. Regarding the resolution, I have no idea. I can show you some photo. The two of them are from Magene C606. One comment, on the Bryton I have screen foil, provided by manufacturer, for sure it would be better without it

[havox07]

Ordered one here as well, will probably be a couple weeks but will post some updates when I get it.

[havox07]

Received a few days ago, but its been too rainy to test it out.

Construction:
Feels well enough built, no major gaps or seams, nothing amazing but fine.

Screen
I haven't been able to test it in sunlight but from a resolution perspective the screen itself isn't up there with the Karoo 3 and Edge 1050. Bryton refused to disclose the resolution which is never a good sign, but with some crude measurements I think its going to be close to the S800 which was 272 x 451 (roughly half that of the Karoo 3 and Edge 1050).

UI
I don't love the UI of the system, it feels like certain things are buried in menus and others you would assume are within menus are within the different ride programs, even just turning off the device feels a little clunky with having to hold the power button for what feels like 10 seconds before a prompt shows up on the screen. I added my connective devices to the Bryton and while they are connected and do show data I cannot view the devices I have connect beyond my DI2. Everything else doesn't show up in the list for whatever reason. So far I have much preferred the UI and app of the iGPSport devices compared to this.

I was hoping to have my Ultegra shifter command buttons to have some more advanced use cases, such as pressing one direction for page back, one for page forward, and hold press to go to a specific screen. The options for the Bryton are limited to only: Lock, Next Page, Lap.

Overall
If we get lucky with some decent weather this weekend I will post a little more, for now I probably should have just sprung the extra for a Karoo or Edge.

[Stravakiddo]

yea the new bryton looks good. i have the 420 since years and it is bombproof...
but there are some interesting competitors
magene p606 and igpssport binavi
choise its hard

[havox07]

Few more weeks with the Bryton S810, I would not recommend this device. The battery has been decent, and the screen is fine but I have been having connection issues as of late.

Negatives:

• GPS lock is slow
• Takes 10 minutes to connect to power meter, old iGPSport was instant
• Also keeps dropping connection to devices, I lost my Di2 gear status about a dozen times in my last two hour ride

[Mariuszuzd]

I would send it back. If the PM doesn't connect, then it's useless, and there's no reason why it wouldn't connect within seconds. Either it's a shit device, or you got a dud. It's either faulty or seriously flawed

I'm using favero assioma dual and I have not notice any connection issues. Moreover, I used: magene lights, rear and front, sram, cyclami speed sensor, all is working flawlessly. Did you tried to add it one more time? The GPS is working very good for me, gps fix rather very fast, less than 10 s, screens workings fast. I rode an Ultrafondo the Everest so 262 km and 9200 m up without any issues! When I used garmin I had a lot of them. Workouts are also great, I can zoom in and out on the interval, I can even pause the workout or the set, go back, or further. That is a great feature! The only things that bothers me is the connection with SRAM Etap, I can check the battery only and obtain the information about the gearing. I hope that they will add the screen changing.

I also has the 800 as well, but I'm not as tech savvy as some of you, still struggle about all this route planning/sync steps...

I got an update yesterday, my software version is 026.002.0008.04.012.001. However, I haven't noticed any real changes in the system or in the app.

[Mariuszuzd]

Since the last time, I got two updates - R029 and R030 and honestly I'm very happy! They provided full integration with sram etap extra buttons! You can switch screens and turn on map, activity and others. Moreover, they added some detection of FTP, MHR and LTHR, however for now I didn't identify how that works.

Hello, I have a question for Bryton s810 owner: is this bike computer multi band gps L1+L5?
I asket to Bryton but the answer wasn't clear, they told it is multi satellite (gsp, glonass,..) but didn't tell nothing about multi band.
Is the gps signal stable even is some closed area (under tree in wooden environment or in the middle of the city with high building)?
Thanks
