Not very reliable
on April 8, 2023
Posted by: Bruger
I have just returned from a four days trip with my Garmin. I planned routes with Garmin Connect but on the way I often got absurd messages Telling me to cycle back though I was on the route or suggesting to cycle into a field. I Had to use a map and a compass

Data Good, Navigation Bad
on April 7, 2023
Posted by: Tom P
I wish I paid extra for the 830 to get the touch screen. Navigating the menu and screens is a real pain using the buttons, especially while wearing cycling gloves. The buttons are too flush with the body and difficult to feel.

There's a learning curve, to be sure -- but once I took it on the first real ride, on trails that I hadn't ridden before, it was clear that it could help me navigate and find trails that I wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. I am still learning about the features -- I think its usefulness will just continue to expand as I use in more and more situations.

Set up is a joke
on April 2, 2023
Posted by: Martin Harris
I consider myself pretty tech literate but the set up on this device is awful. Why don't you do some UAT? Even when I have tried watching youtube videos, several of the people demoing are having the same endless issues. Nothing is explained clearly or intuitive at all. I have wasted hours trying to set this thing up and I still don't really know how to record a ride, or use it as a GPS to follow someone else's Strava route - which was the sole reason I bought it!

Had my garmin edge 530 for 3 weeks now and still have been unable to connect to my iphone xr. Iphone shows connected, edge show waiting for phone. I'm about ready to give up and send for a refund

I'm competitive cyclist and I like Edge 530
on March 28, 2023
Posted by: Mustafa O
It is great cycling computer gives you all the data you need in training time and after on the garmin connect app you can analyse your training data , I have been using it more than 3 months and I never had any issues with it , battery life are very good I change it once a week and I'm active cyclist I ride up to 7 time a week , it is compact , light weight with good size screen so you can have up to 10 data field on one screen

The baseline against which all other bike computers are measured
on March 22, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
I've had a couple of these over the years, as well as the older Garmin Edge 520, a 500, and a Wahoo Bolt and I think the 530 is the closest thing to a perfect bike computer. Setup is a little tedious and could benefit from a phone-based app, but once you have it configured, it's simple, intuitive to use, and reliable. Hghly recommended!

Bought it because others were out of stock, but I absolutely love this thing!
