Frequent connectivity issues
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: lvomsteeg
The features are alright, but the device frequently has issues connecting to other devices. For example, it frequently drops connections to Garmin power-meters, heart rate monitors, and speed sensors during use. This leads to a loss data collection and reporting workout duration and intensity. Additionally, I've found the Bluetooth connection to my phone to be unreliable. Several times a week, I have to repeatedly try to get my phone to connect to edge 530 unit to transfer workout files.

530 sucks

Lots of great features. But very glitch prone. Freezes. Doesn’t sync. GPS gets way off in trees.

Unreliable navigation

I returned it. Its unreliable navigation got me lost countless times in Europe, where I needed it the most.

Very happy with this product. It has frozen up a couple times which causes me to do a reset and rebuild my profiles

Nice toy but not very intuitive

I love having all the metrics on the unit but the 6 buttons are not very intuitive. It's very confusing which buttons control the features. A touch screen would be much easier but I couldn't justify paying an extra $200.

Fast and fantastic but a little buggy
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: SkiMo John
I really like everything about the new Garmin 530; it's faster, better screen, and super user friendly. I came from the 520 and it seemed like Garmin did a pretty good job of getting the kinks worked out of the 520 as it was really stable for the last year that I had it. After I moved to the 530 it's pretty good, but Garmin really needs to iron out of the little bugs in it. It's not enough to keep me from using it, especially how fast it is, but it gives every Wahoo owner a reason not to switch back to Garmin.
