I love this bike computer. I orginally purchased it to train for a bike race. I do NOT ride without it now. I have used the Fenix series of watch for many years but this is so much better for checking out stats and data while riding. I can't say I love the climb pro option. haha Great to know but I mostly do not want to know how much further I have to the top of the mtn. Cheers, buy it, you'll like it!
Touchscreen is an awesome upgrade over the 540. GPS has been great on gravel and navigating back to a course / route. And the screen size is just right.
I needed a GPS for my bike but this is so much more. The bright display is easy to read when riding for my old eyes. When paired with the Varia radar, it makes riding so much safer. I have a Garmin Fenix watch that I use when riding but the Edge is much easier to see and hear. I like the bar graph for heart rate so I can keep the rate steady.
Bought this to help focus my bike riding. So far it has been excellent. Sometimes the touch screen and buttons are frustrating but that is usually just me rushing to use them.
Sorry I do not like it, my wife purchased this unit for me at your unbound gravel expo booth. I would like to send it back to you. I understand it's used now but I have taken it off my bike and going back to the other brand. To many things going on, things I don't care about and to many buttons to try and navigate through while riding my bike. Can we get it sent back?

Replaced my 8 year old Garmin 520. Im glad I went for the touch screen option. This is a quality product in typical Garmin fashion. I only wish Garmin would improve the intuitiveness of their products
