ivr32 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Hi I am in the market for new gps device. Been using Polar cs 400. What would you recommend? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad890 Posted May 26, 2013 Share I'd go with the Bryton main reason being that the battery life on the Bryton is a lot more then the Garmin. Otherwise they do pretty much the same. in terms of the South African bryton agents, I can only say good things with the dealings I've had with them (had a faulty HR strap that they replaced within a matter of days and no hassles since) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted May 26, 2013 Share Garmin Edge 500 - it works. Every person I know with a Bryton has issues mostly with faulty HR reading or strap. canfan and Lexx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Beaton Posted May 26, 2013 Share Would not touch Bryton again ... Made the mistake last year and paid the price for not going with a Garmin canfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad890 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Garmin Edge 500 - it works. Every person I know with a Bryton has issues mostly with faulty HR reading or strap. they've worked on that issue now from what I understand. the old 1st gen monitors leaked like a rusty bucket (one you get with the rider 35 and older) the new 2nd gen sensors have been redesigned and actually seal, the strap is also alot more comfortable (so far haven't had issues with my replacement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad890 Posted May 26, 2013 Share what ever you decide on, be sure to check out fit tracks online store. I found them to have the cheapest prices on garmin and bryton? http://shop.fittrack.co.za. ivr32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted May 26, 2013 Share Garmin by a long way. No comparison. Online updates and interface is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG C Posted May 26, 2013 Share Garmin Edge 510, one word.........awesome! Not sure how much more it is than the 500 or the Bryton but worth it I think SaKiwi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivr32 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Edge 510 is about R1200 more Edited May 26, 2013 by ivr32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy69 Posted May 26, 2013 Share My Bryton 35 works well except for the buddy feature that I can't get working (and no replies from the distributors or on the Facebook page) and the HRM that showed me cruising with a 250+ heart rate yesterday (new battery etc) ... Also buy your own rare earth magnets if you want the cadence monitor to work as the flimsy magnet they supply doesn't do the job well. Battery life is excellent though! Next time I will try Garmin ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG C Posted May 26, 2013 Share R1200 extra well spent ivr32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip GT Posted May 26, 2013 Share My Bryton 35's heart rate monitor also started taking in moisture all of a sudden. Less than one year old. Sent an email to Bryton SA yesterday. Will see if they reply tomorrow or not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
