【Unboxing】 2023 Bryton flagship Rider S500

Bryton flagship Rider S500

In May of this year, the outbreak of the epidemic in Taiwan was completely shut down and all outdoor sports were shut down.
Fortunately, with the concerted efforts of all the people of Taiwan, the epidemic gradually subsided after half a year.
All the bans were lifted and all kinds of outdoor sports slowly returned to normal.

The epidemic is slowing down Bryton also released the new flagship S500 on 12/01
The S series is designed for riders who focus on performance and training or competition.
The main focus is on “more advanced” data analysis
This new flagship is a little smaller than the 750 screens at 2.4 inches
The hardware has been upgraded to make the touch screen and all operations more responsive
The light sensor is added to adjust the brightness of the screen with the ambient light

The official data of power consumption is 24 hours (20 hours for 750)
However, I heard that the actual test data is better,
It is only considering the different usage conditions and accessories of each person.
Many considerations decided to write a more conservative endurance,
So finally settled on the official data of 24 hours

The official promotion adds features to the
Live Track Real-Time Sharing
With the new Bryton Live Track feature, you can share your ride status and location with your family and friends in real-time! The Bryton Active App makes it easy to create links and share them quickly with communication and social software, allowing family, friends, and coaches to track your progress instantly through the webpage. The page not only shows your ride track and real-time location, but also provides speed, ride time, total ride time, and distance.

Climb Challenge hill information
The Rider S500’s new Climb Challenge hill information feature will take you to new riding heights! Simply import your route into the Bryton Active App, and Bryton will automatically create the climb information in it. When riding on a planned route, the Rider S500 will provide information about upcoming climbs before the start of the climb, including graphical display of the climb information, color-coded gradient, climb distance, elevation, climbing, and the start of the climb. The new interface training schedule

New interface training schedule Professional training, new interface
With the Bryton Active and Rider S500, users can quickly create structured schedules and integrate TrainingPeaks, including training notes that can be displayed on the watch, for more flexible training schedule adjustments. In training mode, the Rider S500 displays training steps graphically and supports on-device zooming. This is a powerful aid for power training.

Customized quick information page Highlights at your fingertips
The Rider S500’s innovative and unique customizable Quick Info page allows users to keep track of key data at all times, providing three combinations of lap data, optional data grid, and sensor status, allowing you to grasp key information at a glance with a single click.

Built-in automatic light sensor
The Rider S500 has a built-in light sensor that adjusts the screen brightness according to the ambient light. Whether riding indoors, through a tunnel, or in the shade, the screen backlight automatically adjusts for the clearest and most comfortable display.

What interests me most about the S500 is the new light sensor.
The Climb Challenge slope reminder is a pity that you have to import the path first.
But even so, if you want to go to a route that you have not done before or are not familiar with
Planning on the map first and then importing is still somewhat useful
The incline meter only appears when you use the navigation, so I’ll add it when I’m out on the trail.

First of all, let’s open the box briefly and feel out the functions
Light sensor and touch smoothness to be used in practice will be added to the use of experience

The S500 is undoubtedly the fastest and smoothest chronograph in Bryton.
I hope the actual road will have better performance

S500 is expected to be launched in mid-December
