I have been using the Bryton 420 with a bundle for the last 2 months, and I am extremely glad. I like how fast the unit turns on and get ready, great battery life, very clear display and the app makes life so simple. I am a recreational rider. For what it is priced, and tons of features it is a very good deal.
How's the syncing with Strava? After my second ride the computer didn't sync with Strava and not only that but it took too much time to connect with my phone through bluethooth+wifi and only after turning on/off the device, the app, the bluethooth on my phone. And my heart rate strap doesn't display the heart rate on my Bryton 420 screen. It's connected, the blue light on the strap beeps when I put it on, but it doesn't show the heart rate.
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
I use a Rider 330 on my MTBs and a 530 for commuting and touring. They were US $120 and $150 at time of purchase respectively. They satisfy all my needs. In the course of multi-day travel, I follow the breadcrumbs while riding and fine-tune my orientation with Google maps on my pit-stops. Battery life is amazing, perhaps the strongest point of these devices.
I found this model avail for under 100 bux these days.. I am not sure you can find this feature set for less these days.. Aged well for an affordable option. Great for me as I have multiple bikes in ultiple formats and prefer to not have to swap accessories over.
Fantastic I will get this tomorrow as I’m just a mountain biker and need a basic computer. I go to Belair and crafers a lot and want speedometer and something to record for Strava. This allows me to record backpacking. Update 12 March 2024: I now use a carbon road bike with a power meter, and still going strong. I don't even think I need a Wahoo. Might be nice for live segments and routes etc. but right now, I don't really care about those. If I rode 5000km this year I'd maybe update.
Well shit... There it is! How the flip did you work that out? The menu path to get there is SETTINGS > RIDE CONFIG > DATA PAGE and there's not really an explanation as to what that setting changes. Did you read the manual like a sensible human?
@@bassbassbasser Haha thanks mate! It's interesting because Bryton sent some feedback on my written review with a couple of small corrections but didn't point out how to hide fields tied to sensors that aren't connected. Maybe it's a surprise to them as well!
I've just bought mine, after using the rider15 on my track bike. NZ$200 a steal, also using Magene speed and cadence sensors that come in at NZ$20 each and with a flick of battery can be set for either cadence or speed. The HR belt, only NZ$28 and is awesome. Great review and now I have some data screen tweaks to make 😀
Lot's of complaints about the latest smartphone app, which I too experienced but fixed. Here's what you should do. 1)update the firmware (and GPS data) using the Windows or Mac application from Bryton, connecting to a computer with the supplied USB cable. 2) Do a fresh install of the latest smartphone application. 3) avoid using the Bryton route creation software (phone or web) and use Komoot (free) instead to create route or import a .gpx which will then automatically synch with Bryton active smartphone app. Then, within the smartphone app, you must then encode turn-by-turn directions, and finally send this NEW file (ending in "-1") to the device using the app (something not well explained in directions). Strava can also be automatically synched to send your ride to your feed as soon as you turn on the smartphone app or end the ride. You should have a recent smartphone with a recent version of Android (12 gives you ability to over ride app and turn off location services). Currently does not work with Ride with GPS, on 420 and 750 models so ignore this in app. If you still encounter problems, reset the head unit (using the menus) and un-install and re-install the app, with no files to synch in komoot or strava. The buttons for ON and pause on the bottom are very practical, as it saves space and protects the unit from spills. They are easy to operate, even when on the holder. You can ride without a smartphone on and it will record everything normally. Routing should also work, provided it is setup and following a track. Altitude calculation is accurate, when compared to a good topo map! GPS satellites are improving, so be sure to update "GPS DATA" using the desktop application and cable. For detailed maps, the best option in my opinion is to use a smartphone and view a .kml (converted from .gpx on GPS visualizer) using Mapsme.
i have the bryton rider 410 over 1 year now and i'm really happy with it. very reliable and long lasting battery. and the price here in europe is rediculus, only about 80€...
Really good review, I do more off road riding and searching for a gps device but not sure on this one now as there’s a lot of unknown paths to me I’d like to go on and would like something more of a map than a route, I like to explore more! Rather than just get there!
@@mohapagla and how is it after some time using it? The only reason why I would consider another computer it would be that the display of the info on Bryton 420 (and most of their devices) looks more pixelated than on Garmin. How's the screen and how well does the speed appear? It updates in real time, right? And can you see all the info alright when you are cycling?
@@stickyschannel8497 yes the screen is pretty good and it doesn't pixelate. The info are realtime and the screen is pretty big bigger than 130 you can see 8 data field very easily. I ran 6 field per page.
It's a great device but unfortunately, I had an annoying issue. I was riding 300km. and after a little pause on 150th km., the device doesn't want to start. It was freezing and an I had to reboot the device and to lost some mileage. I used it for more than 15K km. and this was the first big issue. But I think to migrate to Wahoo or Garmin. When this happened I used "Follow track" functionality.
So far i'm satisfied with this device except for 1 issue. That is the TIME is not set to the exact moment. I need to set a -10m Alt on ground level to get the correct exact moment of Time on my device.
Sorry for the late response. Without extra sensor it uses GPS. Bryton DOES produce a speed sensor, simply it's not included in budle to the GPS unit. Their reasoning is that a 4 gnss unit has amazing precision and update times in the measured speed, thus it's an extra redundant sensor with limited improvement. While cadence and HR are not available without a dedicated sensor, thus their budle with those sensors. Italian: In pratica usa il GPS, che è super preciso e molto veloce nell'aggiornamento dei dati utilizzando sia il GPS vero e proprio, sia i sistemi europei 'galileo" e il russo GLONASS. Producono ancheun sensore a se', ma non è incluso in nessun 'pacchetto' perché è un "di più" mentre HR e cadenza son dati che senza sensore non sono rilevabili. Tuttavia vista la compatibilità di ant+ dovrebbe funzionare anche con i sensori dia altre marche compreso Garmin
Hi! I use the 410 for commuting. It has all the stuff I need and as I don't need maps, that's fine. The battery life is great! The only real gripe I have is when I transfer my data to Strava, things change. It seems the way Strava interprets the start stop times is different and so your ave speed and estimated power end up being different. Did you notice anything similar with the 420? Not a deal breaker in the end as I know how well I've ridden but it would be nice if the stats matched!
Can you show us how to download a route in ( say eg you like look someone's ride on Strava or your doing an event and they put the route on for you to download I'm clueless
Maybe a useful addition for people not receiving all smart notifications on their device, as I didn't get any Whatsapp notifications on my 420. For Android go to Settings > Apps > (Press menu button) then choose Special Access. Then click Notification access. At last select the Active app from Bryton. Done.
When receiving an incoming call the device pops up a PHONE frame with no contact or caller ID information. After that an unanswered pop up with contact name shows. Do you get contact names for incoming calls?
Good day sir. I am from the philippines. A filipino friend from your country gifted me with bryton 420 which he bought from 99 bikes. However when i was setting it up there was no english language frim the choices. Can you please help me? I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you!
Can someone please help me, I changed my phone, it's paired to my Burton via the App, but after finishing my ride, I choose save, and the ride doesn't sync to my phone App nor doesn't upload to Strava
So yeah basic navigation use is actually shite to use so far. Planned a 50 mile route. i'm still waiting for it to process. The route was on my gps Bryton 420, i hit START to see if it would show the map etc and its been processing now for 20 minutes (i've watched three reviews now and nobody is talking about this "feature"...) Not a great product for actual use if you have to wait 20 minute splus to get it to show you a 50 mile route.
I have had the 420 for a few months and very happy with it except as it gets more full the processing gets slower and slower to the point it's unusable and need to do a factory reset then it's back to good again. It had 80% at the time and is meant to delete files when full, my guess is the RAM gets full and slows the whole thing down. Anyway, if someone has a solution without factory reset let me know, thanks
Maybe they were like "Ok... so Garmin owns all numbers in 500s, 800s, and 1000s but if we're quick we can lock down 400s." A literal storm of high fives followed.
As far as I know, there's no smart trainer functionality with this. I guess you can turn off auto pause and it'll record power numbers or heart rate, but no guarantees it'd give you what you're looking for.
Yes, put a magnetless wheel sensor on the back wheel and use that for speed calculation (there is an option in the smartphone app to select this over GPS). This head unit is designed for indoor training, with programmable interval workouts.
Thank you for the review! if compare it to lezyne mega c (without price in mind), what it better? As I understand lezine also has wahoo-like app right now (with easy integrations and syncing).
If price doesn't matter then I'd recommend the Lezyne purely because it can have maps added in. If maps don't matter then I'd probably take the Bryton for it's nicer screen.
