New 540 is great
on July 16, 2025
Posted by: DaveW
I got my new 540 a few weeks ago and it has been great. It replaced my older 520 plus. Transferring my profiles and information from my 520 plus to new 540 was simple during set-up. I was able to add some new fields to profiles regarding my e-bike. Need to figure out if Garmin can accommodate e-bike booster battery too in battery percentage. Battery life of new Garmin 540 has been fantastic. Definitely recommend.

Great product but is so weak and will shatter on any minor crash. This is my 4th one I’ve gone through

Bad buttons
on July 7, 2025
Posted by: AZ rider
Thus unit functions really well from a software perspective and I really like the screen options and visibility, BUT THE BUTTON SENSATION IS VAGUE AT BEST… I find myself searching and searching for a solid button push. This simple hardware issue makes the unit a 2-star item for me. I’d easily give it 5-stars if the buttons worked reliably.

I had an Edge 520 for a long time and the 540 is even more user friendly. Also longer battery life and metrics

Menu is not intuitive
on July 1, 2025
Posted by: Driftwood
I purchased this as a gift. The person I gave it to gave it back after about 2 week. They could not get it to display the metrics they wanted. I then attempted to set up the unit for them. It took significant effort to get the metrics to display, however there are features they wanted to turn off, but I still am working on that.

Good Features, speed and buttons should be better
on June 27, 2025

This is a good computer but at this price point and in 2035, i was expecting smaller bezels and brighter screen. I also find the UI to be slow. I have no issues navigating the 540 with buttons. Some reviews said it’s hard and designed for a touch screen 840 but if you use a garmin watch with buttons is the same idea. The main issue is the button response. I often click but it doesn’t take. It’s like an old school calculator where you really have to press hard and there is wiggle in the buttons so sometimes it doesn’t go straight down and doesn’t activate the click. Absolutely unacceptable at this price point and very disappointing. I also don’t like that I can’t use the computer for the bike portion of a triathlon and have it record instead of my watch. This feature is a must for a multi sport athlete.

Lots of information right in front of you as you ride. Easy to maneuver through for instant feedback.
