I'm happy with that. for sports and portable GPS

For the price, this bike computer is hard to beat. It delivers all the data I expected and it only has a few downsides. It was a replacement for the Rider420, which suffers from terrible button design and crude assembly. The 750 fixes both of those problems. The handlebar mount is very solid and functional, and the buttons are very comfortable and intuitive. I like Bryton software. It provides more data than I expected and I have a hard time (for me) justifying the cost of Strava's premium version. This allows for a good setup and I haven't had any connection issues. I would like to mention that some settings are only available on device and others are only available in app, which is confusing but not a big deal. However, I still have to set the correct time. I don't really use the navigation features, so I can't comment on that. I once followed a route created in Strava and it worked, but I noticed that there were no turn-by-turn directions when I wasn't on the map screen. Also, due to the small text size, it's almost impossible to read the street names on the map. I didn't find the brightness itself to be a problem, but it seems to be too weak. However, I never ride outside of fairly sunny weather. The only real downsides I found were the poor HRM connectivity and the font size of the SMS text messages. The HRM connection has improved with warmer weather, so maybe it's poor conduction from the strap to my skin. But there should definitely be an option for text size as the provided font is WAY small to my eyes. A final note is that the touchscreen's scrolling isn't responsive enough. Despite this issue, I often have to swipe multiple times to switch between data screens. Conversely, I can swipe up and down almost too easily. One suggestion I'd like to make to Brighton, aside from fixing these items, is the ability to switch between data pages. This would save me almost 100% of my time switching between screens, which is distracting and sometimes risky when there is heavy traffic. Overall I'm very happy with this device and feel I saved a lot of money by not paying for Garmin.
