Great device. Does everything you can ask in a small lightweight package. Battery life is great. I normally use it for weeks on battery saver mode.

Took this on a few rides and have been marveled at all the features and ease of use with this computer. It linked up to all my sensors seamlessly and has been 100% stress free.

User unfriendly
on March 27, 2025
Posted by: Palmer
Been an Edge user for 15 years (500 & 130) 530 for 2. Very difficult to set up displays I wanted for the device, numerous trial-and-error rides and struggling with manual. Buttons on the device are very temperamental, don't activate unless push just right. Not real convenient for a cyclist while riding. Coup de Grace came when I upgraded iPhone from 11 to 16. OMG, worse than starting from scratch. Connect App says I'm connected, but I'm really not. All App shows are a bunch of rides from 2022! Plus the 530 picks up activities from my Forerunner 55 watch. Why, when these are already displayed on Garmin Connect? BUT the 530 won't post my bike rides to Connect. Total frustration. Seems if Garmin is catering to "active outdoor" types, would realize their customers prefer to be there than parked inside behind laptops, computers, apps, and devices spread out, trying to make sense of it all.

Been using one for years and needed another. Works great and with Live Track you and your friends or family can keep track of each other on the trails.

Programmed to fail after 29 months?
on August 4, 2025
Posted by: Ventoux34
Ok to monitor the main performance and route parameters (watts, rpm, speed, gradient, etc) Somewhat too small for me and push button handling is cumbersome on this modeling. Very disappointed by the failure of the LCD screen 29 months after purchase (24m warranty)!!
