Replaced my 530 with 540 and happy!

The new 540 updated to my personal screens and laps distance. Nice screen and added features on home screen. Like the 530, the 540 loses connection to speed and cadence sensor for a few seconds about every third ride, but very short in duration. Fit my bracket of 530 exactly and button operation was the same and simple.
Not user friendly. Difficult to set up. Can't go to second page without restarting route, A lot of times, I have to reconnect my cadence sensor. I liked the 530 much better.
had been using an Edge 520 for the last seven years.Could barely get 3 rides beforw the battery needed to be recharged but no real complaints. Bought the 540 two weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! Battery life is out of this world with four paired sensors. Love Climb Pro. Haven't figured out all the features yet but what an upgrade.
I bought this to replace a Garmin 200 or something that I had years ago that got stolen with a bike. Couldn’t be happier, good price point and it does all sorts of cool stuff color routing and the battery last forever! Pumped!
I have only had this for a dozen rides. I like the page that shows all of the stats while you ride. The riding I do is all rail trail, so the slope incline does not show accurately. Sometimes I think it is the tree cover and poor satellite pick up. I like the connection to my phone because it helps me decide if I need to answer or not. I like the side buttons because I can scroll through the different screens better than a touch screen.
