Worth every penny
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: Robert G
from Grants Pass, OR, US
Until now, I'd never had a bike computer/GPS. I always thought them to be an unnecessary tool for fitness freaks and something for riders that want to flaunt their money. Since I started getting serious about wanting to do more trail riding, I thought I'd give it a try. Great decision! My Edge found me more trails than a dedicated mountain bike app, gave warnings of upcoming Trail junctions, and the incident detection software functioned flawlessly when I took a tumble down a hillside. I'm looking for ward to learning more about the unit's features and doing more with it.

Garmin Edge 530
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: AR_Steve
I bought the 530 after my 520's battery degraded to the point that it lasted for less than 3 hours on a full charge. I was blown away by the significant increase in capability in the 530 relative to what was available in the 520.

I bought it a month ago and works so fine, I have a better view of my training status and all overall measures of my rides.

Love the device - could be bigger with top buttons

Love it so far. Great stats and ability to hook to speed, cadence, and heart rate. Upload to Strava is nice.
Things I would change:
1) slightly bigger screen - maps would be easier with a bigger screen
2) buttons on the top vs sides... side buttons are hard to use on a mountain bike ride (A remote helps, but does not cover all buttons)

Love the Manual
on September 29, 2021
Posted by: SpringSurf
I started with the Edge 820 three years ago and recently stepped "down" to the Edge 530. I really like the manual operation with buttons vs the touch screen. With the 820 I found that rain drops and sweat often activated the screen, switching modes and info I wanted to see - especially frustrating during interval workouts. Not so with the 530. It only does what I tell it to do and seems to have all the power and functionality of more "advanced" models. Seems like I get a lot more life for each battery charge as well. I love it.

Great device with lots of features
on September 26, 2021
Posted by: PeterS
I bought this about a month ago since getting more involved in cycling and found that my Fenix 5 watch didn't do everything that I wanted (turn by turn directions, all the data I wanted on one screen, easy to look at while cycling.) Transferring all of existing garmin user data to the edge 530 was a breeze and setting up the device was simple and intuitive enough. There are lots of features i haven't used yet, like eat and drink reminders, as well as crash detection, although hopefully I won't need to use that one. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase so far
