Easy to customize

I love my Edge. I syncs with my heart rate monitor, power meter and my Garmin watch with no effort at all. Easy to customize the screen and what I am looking at. Easy to scroll without having to risk losing my balance. Love It!

Great battery life and backup battery

I bought this after riding the Dirty Kanza 200 and wish I had it during the ride. This unit allows me to ride the distance without a recharge.
Garmin, please please please create an app to update fields on the fly through either my phone or computer!

Steep learning curve

I migrated from an Edge 500. It took a while to make it function as my Edge 500 did. I have not learned yet how to integrate the mapping features. No time yet to study up.

Kicking myself for waiting so long
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: Fe-man
I have had it a few months. Way safer and more convenient than looking at watch on wrist for data. Garmin finally quit making bike mounts for watches so they could sell more of these I guess. I love the “extended display” and I love that it reminds you to hit start if you are moving and have not. I wish it didn’t take so many button pushes to turn it off. That is kind of a pain.

Great

I've had mine a few month's. I'm impressed with all the things it can do. I used it once for following a route tour. It worked like clockwork. I didn't stray off course in all of 110 miles. And it rained some too on that day.

Absolutely Great

Overall, the Edge 530 is such a great device with so many features. The MTB stats are great to compare your rides over time while the jumping feature makes you work on you jumps more and more. The Training Status, Training Load, VO2 Max and other data is great to always have as you are working to get more fit. Everything syncs well with Garmin Connect and my Fenix 5X. Have not used the mapping yet as I have not needed it, but knowing it is there is nice. Love the non-touch screen, which is the reason I got this one over the 830.
The only con is that I have had to reconnect the device to my phone 3 times now. However, admittedly, this may be an issue with my phone as I still have an older model iPhone.

Great Computer

I bought this unit as a replacement for my Garmin 520 resulted in a great investment because this new unit takes you to the next level as far when training in hard weather like the deserts of Afghanistan and you must be properly climatized to know how much you can push during your training, it works fine as a combo with taillights and front lights else from GARMIN, Battery life is much better than the previous unit. Working fine I will recommend it for anybody who wishes to track their rides.

Took My Cycling To A Whole New Level
on October 12, 2019

I have had this device for a while now. The data I have captured helped me gauge my fitness level. I have been able to explore comfortably b/c of the gps. The curve warning is great. Also the feature that will alert your predetermined list know exactly where you are the moment an accident has occurred. Button use is easy and navigating the features is simple. Now that I have one I couldn’t see myself going without one. Great addition to my cycling hobby.
