No easy to set up.
on March 14, 2023
Posted by: Indy rider
Ridden with Garmin edge devices for almost 10 years. Can’t get new one to set up out of box.
1 hour into set up and will not pair with devices. Super frustrating

It's really slow to reroute efficiently when you go off course. Besides that, I love this little thing.

Great Upgrade - Missing Tiny Marks...
on March 12, 2023
Posted by: Rene H
Overall much better than the old 520 it's replacing, but with two caveats: 1) Without some indications on the front / screen of the device, it's hard to know where the side buttons are at to quickly press them during a ride. 2) You cannot easily adjust the screen brightness as you could on the 520. It's buried deep in system settings and I find the "auto brightness" setting inadequate.

Much needed Upgrade. The 530 has everything I need

Fantastic purchase! I had the 520 and my battery started to die quicker (less than 3hrs into my rides). Having had it for over 5 years I decided to upgrade to the 530 and I'm glad I did! I ride 115-18hours/week and only charge it once a week. I appreciate all the new functionalities that weren't available with the 520. It's a fun bike computer to use. I highly recommend it.

Perfect size, features and battery life, hard to use navigation
on March 7, 2023

This is an ideal mountain biking computer. It's not too big, has seamless Trailforks integration, and automatically brings up the map when you stop. This saves tons of time and button presses at trail junctions in unfamiliar networks. I've found it invaluable for destination biking. I've never had an issue with sensor connectivity across three different power meters, two heart rate monitors, and a smart trainer. Battery life is good for many more hours of riding than I'm good for. I've done three consecutive days of 3-hour rides without charging.
The only drawback is that the buttons-only interface falls on it's face when trying to pan or zoom on the map or doing anything with navigation besides just following a route. And the default MTB profile beeps at you every time your tires leave the ground which is gimmicky and distracting but easily disabled.
Overall a nearly perfect device for MTB, just keep your phone handy for browsing a map or editing navigation.

Good stuff!

3 months in and computer is great! A little bit more complex to use than a Wahoo I had previously but once I got used to how it works I am having no issues.
Integration with Di2, Wahoo speed sensor, Dura Ace power meter, Varia Radar, and Garmin Connect app was flawless.
