Bad connectivity
on January 27, 2025
Posted by: Marlee
I spend 20 mins before every ride trying to get device to sync to my iPhone. Device randomly turns off or freezes during rides. The climb coach constantly tells me I am climbing when I am actually descending. Real junk.

Great Choice

I purchased the 540 to replace my old Garmin 510, which I had used for 10 years. I love the new features and the bigger screen. I think it is a great investment and look forward to using it for many years to come! I have been very happy with my Garmin products over the years. Now I just need my wife to let me upgrade my Garmin radar which is also about 10 years old :)

A lot to like, could be better

Have had my 530 for a month now, and a few things. Overall it works great. As others have said, the buttons and menu bars can be a bit clumsy to deal with, but honestly, they aren't that bad. I don't try to mess with my unit while underway, so pushing buttons on the fly is not needed. Unit is very small = good. connects with heart monitor easily. I do think that for the price, given competition with touchscreens at about the same price, I rate it 4 stars. I would expect such a device to be cheaper.

It’s not super user friendly at first but it’s getting better I should have waited and bought a touchscreen

The Gold standard

Am I a Garmin Fanboy? yup, and for good reason. These things just work. I wasn't looking for anything super fancy, just a solid head unit to connect my varia, heart rate strap, and cadence sensor...to track my rides. I replaced an older Edge 820 with this 540. I like the buttons over the touch screen (which was less than functional on the 820).
