great computer
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: PSG56
I upgraded my Edge to the Edge 530 and was happy I did. I also use a Garmin Varia and it used up almost the whole battery in a 2 1/2 hour ride. The Edge 530 seems much more compatible and the battery holds almost four times longer. It has great analytics as well and is pretty easy to use. In addition, I am always amazed at the great customer service I get when I call Garmin, which I do frequently, for any questions and concerns.

Nice but can’t figure out Trailforks turn b turn

I got the 530 because of the trail apps app on the unit now I’ve had a couple people try to figure it out just to make sure that I wasn’t doing something wrong but I’m sure I’m probably doing something wrong, it tells you where the trails are but it doesn’t give you the turn by turn or I’m doing something wrong either way I can’t seem to get it to work so hopefully I can run into somebody that’ll show me how to use it properly

Pleased I Purchased This
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: Barry
I finally decided I was tired of trying to get competitors less expensive bike computers to work reliably and decided to spend the money and buy the Garmin 530. I am glad that I did and, while it has taken some time getting used to what it can do and how to do it, I have not had one issue and the unit performs reliably. My only negative is that, for me, the screen could do with being a little bigger. You get what you pay for and the 530 meets the quality and performance standard that one would wish for.

Easy to use, nice display, compact and durable

I have been using the Edge 530 on my gravel and mountain bike. It has worked flawlessly for me so far. The only issue I have had is the heart rate alert. I set to to inform me at 80% and it doesn't, but it will give me false alarms at about 40%. Hopefully an update will come out soon for that.

Awesome Device!
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: Dee58
I upgraded from the Garmin 520 and have been quite pleased. The navigation and maps, I really like. I questioned whether it was worth it, as the 520 had worked well for me for quite some time. After using the 530, I found that the screen size, maps, navigation, “back on route” and “back to start” made it all worthwhile. I’m very pleased with my purchase and the device!

Great with Connectivity glitches
on October 12, 2019

I like the Garmin 530 so far but have found it to be inconsistent with iPhone connectivity. This isn’t related to ios13 permissions either. Just glitchy product in my opinion.
As a stand alone device it works well. Hoping they’ll improve the connectivity soon.
