Great! When it works
on October 11, 2019

I rode with this all summer until a small accident broke the mounting plate off the back. To the credit of Garmin, they are replacing the unit for a lower cost than the original cost.
The original software was erratic and buggy. Sometimes the unit would not turn on or off. Sometimes the unit would record the ride, but then delete it before it synced.
The recent update made the unit more reliable. I hope it will keep getting better

I am loving the new Edge! I really enjoy it asking me about my fluid and calorie intake and giving me feedback on where/what it should have been! The maps are SO nice, no more getting lost on trails! Thank you Garmin

Love the 530! The connection to the lights and radar is awesome! I use it for road and MTB right now. Probably use it indoors when the the weather gets awful and I’m sure it’s won’t disappoint!

I've had any number of Garmin head units for cycling, most recently the 520. I've been using the 530 for training and racing for about 3 months now and it's been fantastic. The upgrades from the 520 are well worth making the change. Lots of new features and although its a bit bigger (15 to 20%???) it has not been really a big deal as i know that size and weight matters to most serious riders. The Garmin App and interface with Training Peaks is seamless and offers a lot of new data if you choose to utilize it. Bottom line, you will not be disappointed!

Great Device; Not so great App
on October 11, 2019

I’m a huge lover of Garmin devices; they tend to be intuitive, long lasting, and are back with great customer services. The biggest annoyance I have with the 530 is the inability to set a custom HR cap alert. On my Garmin 920xT I’m able to set a custom number, but on this computer I’m confined to my zones. The only other complaint I have is the Bluetooth connection is finicky. Sometimes it’s seamless, sometimes it takes me 10minutes to get it to work. Otherwise, the product is built solidly, navigates easily and is relatively customizable. It makes a world of difference to have the data I need to train clearly visible right in front of me.

Should have done more research first...

Currently can only upload data and rides on WiFi when I get home from a ride. Apparently there’s been phone syncing issues for months by what I’ve seen on the forums. I have to turn off my WiFi and BT on my phone so that it will upload over the WiFi at my home. Can’t say that I’ve been able to use the gps yet either. Making routes is quite tedious in the app. The edge 530 feels like using a cell phone from 15 years ago. I should have opted for one of the touch screen models. But, already felt like I was spending too much on an antiquated device.
