Good but complicated

A double-edged sword - while the 540 can provide more than enough data for any athlete, programming and using it takes a lot of work - the interfaces are not exactly user friendly. Things would be much better if it could be set up on desktop, and Garmin online support was clearer . Irrespective, Garmin phone support is excellent
My wife bought it for me based on recommendations from my local bike shop. I like the device but wish the display was touchscreen. The interface is clunky but functional. The device does what’s intended with few frills.
Very solid bike computer, like it overall. Would highly recommend pairing with a radar tail light. If you are used to buttons on a Garmin watch (such as a Fenix or Epix), the buttons on this will be familiar. HR strap and cadence sensor work great out of the box, virtually no setup required.
My only gripes: speed sensor that came in the box just doesn't work at all (which I will probably warranty), and creating routes in Garmin connect can sometimes take you way off the beaten path for no reason unless you're creating lots and lots of waypoints in the route.
