Many features on my new 530- some I won't use, but since I had their fit watch, I thought I could figure it out. The on-line manuals are disorienting and obtuse. I have yet to get the Shimano Di2 shift level or battery to function-- despite numerous calls to Support. I would have ordered the touch screen model but heard they were finicky and sensitive. Should have bought a simpler device.

I previously had an edge explore for many years. It gave up the ghost when it fell off of my handlebars. So decided to buy the 530. I absolutely love this model. Buttons take some getting use to but once I figured them out it’s no problem. Easy to transfer routes to it and does a great job recording my routes. Heart rate is just an added bonus for me. If you are considering buying this look no further. Do it and you won’t regret it!
The Edge 530 has never once run out of battery on me, has very good navigation software, and is compatible with so many different types of riding. Combine that with its ruggedness and I cant recommend it any more.
I will continue to use Garmin products for as long as they are offered, and the 510 is my favorite in my quiver.
I am still learning how to work it. It is just like my old one. It's not set up like my old one was. I am still trying to learn how to set it up. it does works good.
I upgraded from the 520 plus and so far I like the additional features - although I am not sure I understand all the data I can get back - but working on that - one of the reason I got this was the Climbpro feature - am a little disappointed with that - it only works with preloaded rides, which I guess had I thought about it harder I would have realized - but why can the unit warn of a sharp turn coming up but not utilize climb pro when just out for a ride - ??
