We take a closeup look at Bryton's flagship cycling computer to see how the navigation, training, and performance features stack up.

with a deep feature list, including impressive tech like voice search and the ability to keep you connected with other S800 users on your ride, even communicating with them through the device.

Just note that the Garmin mount puck has the small nub in the middle, so if you’re taking a Wahoo mount and rotating it, or have an older mount, you’ll want to drill a small hole in the middle of it. I went ahead and did this to the Bryton mount, too, so that I could just keep the Garmin puck on the computer.The S800 comes in at a reasonable-for-its-size 103g. The mount is just 32g, and the rubber sleeve is 19g. Run it all and you’re adding 154g to your handlebar.

The Map screen can have 1 or 2 data points only, so choose wisely. I’d recommend “Distance to Turn” as one of them if you’re using it for navigation, and I’ll explain why in a minute.Following each ride, you’ll hit the top right button to pause the ride , then tap the “Pause” icon on the screen to stop and save the ride.

The map on the right shows the route to the second CVS result, and then I could just tap the green arrow to start my navigation. In Bryton’s defense, they continually push out updates for the device, and each one brings improvements. And they listen to feedback, so my hunch is its functionality will get smoother and better over time.

One thing I’d like to see Bryton add is the ability to see my saved routes in the browser after creating them…they’ll show up in the app, but once you’ve saved them, you can’t pull them back up in the browser dashboard. And, at present, there’s no way to export those routes into sharable files, so your friends would need to be running an S800 also for them to share your route.The screen is bright and easy to see in direct sunlight, and the line to follow is clearly visible.

My hunch is it just needs a faster processor, or for a firmware update to help it prep alerts much further in advance. The visual aids for turns are…OK, too.The S800 can track pretty much every GPS satellite network in the heavens, and one of the settings screens will even tell you how many it’s currently reading. On one check, it tallied 15. We talked to Bryton about how GPS tracking works forOut in the open, the S800 does a fine job of pinpointing my location.
