Great Features- tough to learn

I love the information that is captured. But I really had to sit down and spend time learning to operate the device. Probably can’t be avoided but anything to make it more intuitive would be an improvement. Just getting it to record a ride takes more buttons than it should. My old Garmin (not sure of the model) had a single button.

I had been tracking my bike rides on a Garmin Instinct smart watch which works great by the way but wanted something I could see better and that provided more options. The Geamin 530 checked all the boxes. I like the fact that it ISN’T a touch screen device preferring tactical buttons instead The 530 gives me all the data I could possibly want or need and then some. Would highly recommend this bike computer.
No clock. I miss my touch screen more than I thought I would.

I'm very happy with my Edge 530. Set up was easy. I love that it integrates with my Dexcom G6 so I can see my Bg readings without taking my hands off the bars. Solid performance on both mt and gravel bikes.
Super easy to set up. Works fine. Bought as a second head unit for Everesting attempt, but I actually like it better than my more expensive other brand unit. I also bought the battery charger pack and it all fits together very nicely.
I upgraded on my new bike from a 520 plus to a 530 and the difference is significant. Also, I have called Garmin support several times and they have been outstanding!
