Upgrade to a new 550 from an old 1030 and like it very much. Still learning on how to get the most out of the 550

Easy to read and use

I only purchased this because I took a cycling trip and somehow left my other one at home. I found the screen clarity improved, fantastic features. Once I adjusted to the lack of touch screen I may actually prefer it as I didn't accidentally change things which was common with the touch screen.

Garmin 550
on August 31, 2026

I purchased this device approximately three weeks ago.Some of the controls work differently than my prior Garmin 520. Being able to power it on and off is different. The 550 has a sleep mode which the 520 did not. Have to be sure you power off and not just put it in sleep mode when you are done for the day.

Edge 550 - great bike computer
on August 7, 2026

I previously had an Edge 520 and I really like the upgrades on the 550. The screen is very clear, the colors are bright, so it’s easy to see while riding. When I ride, I almost always ride a pre-programmed workout, so I don’t change my screen often while reading. As a result, the button controls work fine for me and it wasn’t worth spending the extra money for the touch screen controls.

It’s really dated tech

Don’t do it. This device is like using something from the early 2,000s. It reminds me of trying to use the maps app on my old blackberry. It’s incredibly dated. I can’t believe they still sell it and it’s this expensive. I eventually decided to buy a good phone mount, carry a spare battery in my top tube bag, and use the Cadence app. I need my phone on the ride anyhow so it’s not really adding weight. You can thank me later.

Fantastic device.

Great device, shows me all of the metrics I want to see during my rides. Info screens are super customizable. Really helps make training easier.
I was a little on the fence and almost went for the 850 for the touch screen, but this one has been completely fine. When I'm on the bike I rarely need to touch the device anyway and it's just as easy to navigate with the up and down arrow buttons.
Battery life has been perfectly fine - I can easily ride all day without worrying.
Navigation works great as well. If I'm doing a new gravel route on fire roads I know I'll need help with, I just save the route in Strava and it syncs to my Garmin. Much easier than getting out my phone and stopping every time I need to verify I'm taking a correct turn.
Definitely recommend!
