Bryton Aero 60E GPS Bike/Cycling Computer, 32 Long Battery Life, Pre-Loaded OSM Maps & Follow Track. Support Power Meter, ESS.

I've been using the Aero 60 for a couple months now - it's my first bike computer. Most of my riding friends are using Wahoo's or Garmins. For the most part, I'm finding it to be everything I need for cycling. I would say this sits between what a Wahoo Element Bolt and the Roam are in terms of function/design/features. Near the size and styling of the Bolt, but with added map and turn by turn functionality so you can see the route and area around you. Navigating the menus and setting it up for the first time took some time and reading and also googling (the manual is pretty basic). Once you get used to it, it (mostly) just works, which is great. I have a speed sensor paired with it but don't use as HR monitor or cadence/power sensors. It supports all those connections if you need it though. I got it because it supports turn-by-turn navigation with on-screen maps for less than half of what a Wahoo Roam costs. I don't always use it, but when I do it (mostly) works and works well. Overall, I'm mostly happy with it for the price. If I could afford it, I would probably have gone with the Roam, however, mostly because Wahoo's customer service is absolutely stellar. Bryton, on the other hand..... non-existent. I'm still waiting on an issue ticket to even get a response from them after a week.Design - Simple and effective. It's mostly plastic, but it's light. No touchscreen, which is fine for the price. Buttons can sometimes be a little tricky to remember what does what depending on what menu you're in, but it works. One note: the charging port can't be accessed when it's locked in the mount, so if you need to charge it on the go, you'll need a handlebar bag or something.Display - Simple but effective. I've never had a hard time viewing the screen in any lighting condition. The backlight is strong and works well at night. It's not going to look as good compared to a color screen on the high end Wahoo's or Garmin's, but for the price it's great.Battery Life - Stellar. with sensor connected and GPS/maps going, I'm getting about 3 medium rides (40-60 miles) with stops in between charges. I usually try to recharge it after 2 longish rides just to be safe. It will easily last a full century, possibly a double, on a full charge. CAVEAT: the battery life meter is not the most reliable. It stays at full for a long time, then goes to 3/4 for a while, but after it hits halfway it dives pretty fast. I would consider them more like 1/3rd increments with the last 3rd being pretty short.Features - Way more than I personally need. It has all the ability to track every sensor you could throw at it. You can also customize the different display screens and what stats/data they display, which is great. GPS sometimes takes a second to lock on, but seems to be accurate enough for what I need. If you're competitive and need the most precise data, though, I've read the Bryton GPS isn't quite up to snuff as Garmin, but it's plenty fine for anyone not actually competing and just needs to track the route. The biggest and best feature is the Maps and turn by turn navigation. The screen is pretty clear and the navigation is readable while riding. Long street names get cut off sometimes, though, but at least you can see how far away the turn is both visually and countdown by miles/feet as you approach.CONS-I've had 2 instances of data corruption so far. The first time I was trying to load a map onto the device while in the middle of a ride. It really didn't like that and the whole thing froze up. After restarting, the file couldn't be uploaded and the Bryton App said it was corrupted. In hindsight I might have been able to repair the actual file via FitFileTools, but I gave up on it and deleted it. The 2nd time was when the battery was getting low and the GPS flung my position all the way out to Madagascar for some reason before dropping out entirely. Strava definitely didn't like that, but I was able to correct the file. To be fair, it's hard to say what might have caused the GPS glitch, but still, it's worth noting. No other issues with data besides that in dozens of rides so far.-The App is twitchy when you try to take strava routes and make them into turn by turn files. Sometimes it will just say "failed". It seems to be most reliable when the phone is using WiFi for some reason. So now I try to make sure I convert the routes for turn by turn navigation at home. You'll still be able to load the map and see the route on the Aero if it refuses to convert, but it just won't notify you of upcoming turns.- Bryton customer service and support flat out doesn't exist. Be aware of that. My friends have gotten immediate and extremely generous support from Wahoo for issues. For that reason alone, if/when I upgrade I'm likely going to save up and drop the extra money on one of their devices. Fortunately it's working for me for now, and saving $200 was worth it. Hopefully it stays reliable and doesn't become more frustrating as time goes on....

Hardware is solid. Only the button placement is awckward: try operating this in one hand and see how much you have to fiddle!Software is practically unworkable. Syncing planned trips from app is a hit-and-miss (mostly miss) which is inconvenient.If the software did what it is supposed to do I would have given it a solid 5. Right now I have a gadget I cannot fully use.

I have waited to review my Bryton Aero 60E until I have used it for about 30 ride (350 mi.) It has performed flawlessly the full time. It took a few rides to ger comfortable with setup using the buttons. It syncs perfectly with my Samsung A10 Android phone using the Bryton App. It downloads maps when needed (not often used). It downloads all ny rides with route maps and data at the end of each ride when requeated. I use it with GPS speed and Distance only and it matches my riding friends wheel revolution based computers very consistantly. It oes not need to be phone connected if mapping isn't needed.

I really wanted to like the Aero 60 - it's incredibly configurable, the stock aero mount is great, and the battery life is amazing. However, the display is quite low contrast and I found it hard to see in varying lighting conditions. I ended up swapping for a Wahoo Bolt which I don't like quite as much feature-wise, but I can see when I'm riding. Maybe another generation or two of screen technology and the Bryton will be worth another consideration.

Very light and comfortable

I have a hard time understanding why the graphics have to look like the bootup screen for the Oregon Trail.The functions are good but I had to download a lot of things, plan on spending some time with it before your first ride, like a couple hours.The Bryton app works well.It is really lightweight and stays on my bike just fine.In my opinion it's too expensive (currently $229).

Great new gadget for my bike! I’m not in training for any future bike events. I got this simply because it was a cool gadget with a lot of features that I might find useful on the rides I do enjoy. First of all, having a GPS for your bike… how fun is that? I like the ability it has to plan out my trip before I take it, and then just go without having to really think about it. The wind drag elimination style is great for those who are getting into professional racing, but for me, it’s just sleek and great looking without being obtrusive on my ride.I also like the multiple tracking that it does on mph, grade of the inclines, and even altitude and temp! The software is easy to use, although it does take some time to get the initially app downloaded and set up. I haven’t done a whole lot of off-roading with it, so I can’t speak as to how well the satellite system tracks, but I can imagine it does well, considering the quality I have experienced with all of the rest of the functions!

This is an exceptional device. Easily attached to your bike it does basic stuff (tells you how fast you are going) to very advanced stuff (takes you off-road through the best route for enjoying the view. Lets you change to shortcuts that are easier and faster, but not so scenic!It is firmly mounted, as you go bouncing along a track, it stays with you. It stays on no matter how rough the ride is.
