Great bike computer that has some awesome capabilities and features. I mainly mountain bike so those are the features I use often. The jump tracking is surprisingly very good and neat to see your stats and attempt to beat them. This is the same with the flow and grit statistics that offer a cool analysis to compete with. It shows nearby routes for mountain biking trails which is awesome especially if going to a new trail you can try a route to stay on course and not get lost. GPS is superb for tracking even in the woods. With that, battery was not affected too much, ~45 min ride in the woods in 26 degree weather with GPS + GLONASS enabled (most battery consumption) lost 4% battery. The Garmin connect app is very good, I’ve had zero issues and really like what it has to offer and the user interface along with viewing my activities. It is on par with strava and almost makes me want to buy a garmin smartwatch honestly. Having no touchscreen may be a plus for me actually, I use gloves often so a touchscreen would be painful. Also, the buttons work well and are easy to get use to after playing around with the device here and there. I have more features to try out but so far this is a awesome bike computer and I have no things that bother me about it at all so far.I’ve seen reviews saying it’s too complicated and took long to setup. The app walks you through setup that takes 5 minutes and if you want to customize all your screens/profiles that display while riding that will take a bit longer but that is not setup. This is a electronic device that offers some great features and yes using some of these features requires technical prowess. But what electronic device doesn’t, phones, tablets, laptops, computers etc do. There will be a learning curve as there is with many things in life. For me I am highly technologically skilled in consumer and some business electronics(IT professional) this device is relatively easy to use for me. For others it may be similar to buying a phone from another manufacturer or a new model with a new operating system. The point is it will take a bit of time to get use to like most things. If it’s too complicated I suggest another bike computer that has much less features such as it only tracks speed/distance/time/clock. But if you want to up your cycling skills this will help with its advanced data and analysis along with some features to smile about.

This has changed my cycling forever. It’s really nice having the integration of data with sensors to really get a good idea of what’s going on with your training. The unit is pretty awesome, durable, battery last a reasonable time and it was a good price.

Okay – well it was a secret to me at least. I’ll get to that button in a moment after a quick user review of this device.As a pilot who has used a few different models of Garmin in the cockpit (430, 530, G1000), I was curious how this unit stacked up against the other options out there. After all, the Wahoo Element ROAM and Hammerhead Karoo were developed by cycling experts, while the Garmin was developed by GPS experts. The latter was great with the technology, but covered many different modes of transportation. I imagined that Wahoo or Hammerhead would “understand” the needs of the cyclist better. But ultimately, it was my experience with Garmin and the reviews of others that made me pick the Edge 530. So to be fair, I cannot compare it with the offerings from Wahoo or Hammerhead, and can only speak for this unit.There is a lot to this small screen that I am still learning, but it is Information Central on my rides. The 530 lacks the touch screen of the 830, but riding on bumpy gravel paths, the touchscreen would not only be of limited use beyond configuring things at the breakfast table before a ride, but in fact could prove a nuisance if accidently touched during a ride.And now – THAT HIDDEN BUTTON! If you read nothing else about the 530 – read this….The buttons on each side are easy enough to get used to. There is one big button however that many people apparently miss (I picture it with this review). It’s perhaps the most important one of all, because without pressing it, everything on the 530 remains simply a plan and NOT an active route. It is at the bottom of the screen next to the USB port. I was wondering why my rides never started recording. The GPS directions were working, but the ride clock remained at zero. It turns out that this “play” button at the bottom of the screen – which is essentially hidden visually and less tactile than the more obvious side buttons – is key to the unit’s operation. I was so confused as to why my rides never started that I called Garmin tech support and the guy on the phone laughed and said he had the same problem when he first got the unit (before he worked for Garmin) and it took him a few rides to figure it out. So if this review is any help at all – look at ALL the buttons on the unit – not just the ones on the side!That of course brings up one more piece of this review. Tech support was responsive, effective and engaging. In all, the Garmin Edge 530 is highly recommended by this cyclist.

A Pain to sync with iPhone 11… great device overall on initial impressions.Overall, this 530 is a huge upgrade over my 510… the buttons rotted out on the 510. I tried an Edge 130+ model… same rubber that rotted out on my 510… no thank you. Also, the screen on the 130+ was just too small. The 530 has an all plastic case with all plastic buttons… the only visible rubber is over the data/charging port… thank goodness.The 530 also includes an extend mount valued at $40… so I was really paying an extra $60 for the 530 since I wanted the Garmin rigid handlebar mount. Plus… double the battery life of the 530 over the 130+Performance wise, well, again, my 510 was laggy. The 530 runs smooth. I really appreciate the trans reflective display Garmin uses on the newest models. my 510 was an old-school backlit LCD… it managed in daylight, but the 530 is much clearer and sharper… feels less like a toy.When considering the 530, just realize it doesn’t have a touch screen. My old 510 had a touch-screen.Build quality on the 530 is the best I’ve experienced on a bike computer. I stick with Garmin because I appreciate being able to use my desktop computer to view states instead of being tied down to my cellphone (e.g. Wahoo biking computers). Also, Garmin pairs well with Strava.—–Syncing issues…Finally got mine to pair… there’s a screen that pops up that says other devices… I kept hitting cancel and the screen would say searching for device… need to stay on that devices screen and eventually the iPhone 11 will find it through the Garmin app and let you sync. The device cannot be connected in your bluetooth settings prior to syncing the 530 with your iPhone. What a nightmare it was trying to figure this all out… may take you several attempts.

July 17th, 19. After just a few short weeks I dropped this on accident and shattered the screen. The device was still functional and could record but other then that I could not see any display. Thankfully I purchased the accidental damage coverage. The best example I can say about the quality of the screen build is that of a cell phone in 2007. One drop and its toast. Definitely disappointing but I do have a new one coming on Friday thanks to the purchase protection. Hopefully Garmin will take note of this in the future and improve the quality/hardness of the screen.June 26, 19. I received this after pre-ordering on Amazon and waiting about 7 weeks. Others have mentioned button issues but I have had no problems. Navigation has been interesting as OSM data is not always accurate with reality, I’ve tried updating OSM and I am waiting to see how long it will take for my changes to propagate to Garmin’s side. I do like that it automatically turns on my Bontrager lights and through the widgets menu I can see the light status and battery levels. Connection to other ANT+ devices, cadence sensor and heart rate (on my watch) were very easy. Creating data screens is nice and having so much information has been great but I quickly became overwhelmed with the amount available. I think I need to revisit screen config and make it only a few fields. Battery life has been excellent, I typically commute to and from work as well as ride throughout the day to lunch or the coffee shop and I’ve only charged the device twice (also after a 35 mile ride to the beach). Kit came with all the accessories listed and it is very stable on the out front mount. Have yet to try the trailforks maps but I have signed in and added my favorites.I’ll update as more time passes.

I had a 530 and it turned on but would not connect or record. I needed another quickly so ordered this one. O got it the next day. Sorry to hear Garmin is discontinuing this model. Even though the buttons are a pain, I mountain bike and any little thing can touch the screen and do something wrong. So I use the buttons. For the cost, the 530 is the best option.
