Great product

There was a learning curve as far as the buttons go, but when you use it often you'll figure it out. When I go a few weeks between then I forget which buttons start rides, etc. I alao use the HR strap with my Fenix watch and love that I got the whole package.

Excellent way to track your trail rides.

If you're looking for a device to track your mountain bike trail rides, this is for you! This kit has everything you need, handle bar mount, protective silicone case, and speed sensor. Pairing to Garmin app on my phone was easy and intuitive. And if you like data and stats, this thing is packed full of them. My favorite, grossly enough, is estimated sweat loss. It also allows you to use Trailforks. So if you want to plot out your own trail route, you can.
The only flaw I saw was the initial time using it can be a bit cumbersome. It's all push button and no touch screen, but once you figure it out it becomes second nature.

Great computer!

The computer and speed sensor are great, but the other components I personally don't find the value I anticipated. I don't find I switch screens while riding frequently enough to carry the remote. The mount is good to start, but I quickly replaced it with an alternative supplier. The jacket, while is does offer "protection" it makes it more difficult to access the controls on the 530 computer, and the only interface.

Love how versatile this unit is. It connects to EVERYTHING and has a nice big display, easy to customize which data I want currently on. Stays backlit during early AM or night rides. Integrates with varia, power meter, speedometer, HRM and smart trainer all with no issues!

Great budget cycling computer

Covers the needs of a road cyclist all the way to a dedicated mountain biker. Did have to warranty my first one since it would randomly turn off.

Garmin Edge 530
on August 9, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
I have owned my Edge 530 for a few years now. Battery life is great, even doing 6+ hour rides it hasn't dipped below 70% from 100%. As with all of the other Garmin products, they work super well with one another in the Garmin ecosystem. It comes with a lot of useful features for training, like estimated FTP and V02 max. It syncs workouts and is super great for intervals.
However, I have noticed it sometimes can take a few minutes to sync a ride. The heat estimated acclimation feature is nice, but it doesn't work unless the phone is connected while you ride, so sometimes you go for a ride when it's 100 degrees out but it doesn't give you any heart acclimation. The jumps feature is cool, but it sometimes thinks you have hit a jump when you haven't.

It works perfectly and I use it everyday and it tracks all of my stats when I mountain bike.
