Tough to beat.
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: VR46
I bought the 540 non solar to replace my Edge 520 not because of a lack of ride metrics but rather, the battery life. With Rally pedals, RTL515, hr, it put too much demand on it and battery life was basically 1 ride. Edge 540 battery is quite strong and addresses the 520 shortcoming well. Besides that, the climb pro is pretty cool and the suggested workouts and other performance bits are pretty good as well. User teething issues were the button sequence isn't identical to 520 and it takes some practice to nail the sequence. Once learned, you're good. Lastly if you're already a Garmin user, the set up could not have been easier.

Mistake - don't buy

I find the button menu absolutely horrid. Can someone tell Garmin it is 2024 and maybe you should be able to configure your edge 100% from your phone and maybe even start a ride from your phone. It works like a 2010 device

Love it, very easy to pair with the sensors and easy to operate. Battery last a very long time. If you are looking to know your riding metrics and keep up with your best performance this is the ideal tool.

Better features than the 530
on May 3, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
I got tired of replacing my 530 edge from crashes or falling from technical climbs. The attachment back piece kept breaking off the casing. Finally, ordered the 540! You can replace the back attachment instead of the whole unit. I really like the bigger screen, performance feature data, color screen and the ability to control my music without stopping, to dig in my pack to grab my phone!
