This is new out from Bryton and looks impressive...

Im looking for a GPS with ANT+ and cant stretch to a Garmin.

Like that its Bluetooth to phone for uploads to Strava.

Whats the consensus on Bryton in General since not many would have this specific device yet I imagine ?

Most sites have it at £140 mark...

don't know about the bryton but i got a sigma rox 10 recently from
bike-discount.de
very happy with it
makes the turbo bearable and i don't know how i lived without the cadence measures - makes a big difference.
135 or 190 with all sensors on the above site and a decent desktop based analytic suite

I had a Rider 20 but upgraded to a Rider 35 which is the rough equivalent of the Garmin 500. I love it, does everything I want/need. I've been looking at the 210 and am impressed with the Bluetooth features on it. May treat myself to one in the new year.

I have a Rider 50 and use it HRM and Cadence. Works great with its own hardware but doesn't switch well between garmin speed/cadence sensor.

The site upload is a bit hit and miss and the link to strava is okay from there. If there is a cleaner way to upload from bluetooth / wi-fi with the 210 that would be a big improvement.

The map function is pretty good and once it has connected stays connected (so far).

Does it do Watts?

I have a garmin sensor on one bike and a Giant Ridesense on the other and Garmin Heat monitor so connecting with other Ant + devices is critical for me.

Thats a pity.

I dont want to replace all the Ant Stuff.

Will wait for a garmin 510 sale somewhere maybe.

Others having issues with Bryton devices and garmin ant+ devices ?

Whats the difference between them is it technical differences.
2 are soft strap but whats the difference between them.
Not keen on the hard strap as I didnt like them on our treadmill either.

The first one is garmins most recent strap. I have the hard one a good few years now and I find it grand but a lot get spikes in their data with it. The newest one is meant to be much better.

Went for the one you said.

Good price from Cyclesuperstore with €15 discount (CSSWINTER15)
