simple and effective
on December 26, 2022

This computer is simple and works, I don't have to worry about unreliability of touch screens in cold and rain.
If there is a downside, it's that the UI is harder to navigate than a touchscreen would be.

Unless you need live navigation searching, this head unit is easily one of, if not the best head unit you can buy.

Not very good at what makes it unique

It's adequate, but doesn't really deliver on many of its cLaimed features:
- The auto-pause feature sometimes pauses when I'm still moving (albeit slowly).
- It says I'm off segment on mountain trails when I'm not, and stops keeping track of my performance.
- Transferring Quarq power data to Strava is painfully slow, typically taking more than 20 minutes.
- it sends emergency/crash messages while I'm still riding.
- It only connects to my phone's bluetooth ~ 80% of the time.

Garmin 530 Bundle

If you looking for an intro cycling GPS computer this is the way to go. It has a lot of features I know i will never use but still fits my needs. Easily integrates with Ride apps. Only thing I would improve is battery life. Charge before every ride!

Wish I'd upgraded sooner!

I upgraded to the 530 from the 520 plus, and I wish I'd done so sooner. This computer is a much needed improvement and I love it! The battery is better, especially with the Varia light and radar, which I really needed on long rides. It connects super-quick to the satellites, and on/off is much faster in general. The controls are the same as the 520, so there was no new learning. The set-up was fast and seamless, and my info from the 520 was transferred automatically with no issues. The crash detector and alert is much better as it is easier to disable the notification before it gets sent to your friend or family (on the 520, you had to go through a convoluted three button sequence to turn off the alert. Not that I fall often, but it was sensitive enough (in a good way) that when I fell over when I hit gravel when stopping because I wasn't able to get my shoe unclipped, the "crash detection" gave me 30 seconds to disable the notification before it alerted my partner -- disabling was just one easy button, unlike the 520). It's just a great computer for me who doesn't need all the extra workout bells and whistles. I ride mostly long endurance road rides, 50-100 miles a week during the summer season.

Great product and bundle

Great bike computer. Tracked all data very well. Syncing between the garmin and Strava can be challenging, though I understand it may be due to the Garmin severs having issues. Data screen customization is great.
