Works great, I will be adding a heart rate monitor soon. That will be followed by a power meter soon after. Hopefully it all works out but as of now, its great.
I came from being a long time 520 user and I really love the 530. I upgraded primarily because my 520 was about 4-5 years old and the battery was really bad. I do gravel events and use the gps course mapping feature a lot in those events as well as in cold temperatures. This is a battery destroyer typically but the 530 has held up very very well on 6-7 hour elasped time for gps mapping, colder weather (30-40F), power meter, bluetooth phone, and brightness dimmed to 20%, and GPS enabled. Looking beyond the extended battery life are features that go above and beyond the 520.
I used both Wahoo and Garmin. Garmin has incident detection! yep, safety first people!
Use this mainly for road rides. The battery life is awesome.
A little tricky to set up at first, but very comfortable later on.
Love all the features on this Garmin!! I use it on all three of my bikes Road Gravel and Mountain bikes. Bought it on deal of the day saved 25 percent.
I don't know what I did without it. That said, the buttons feel strange and are sometimes hard to feel or press, and the menus can be a pain to get through.
Bike comp that's accurate is always excellent. Not to mention battery life is awesome
Decent value as you get what you pay for. Navigating menus with the side buttons is a little clunky but it works.
Big upgrade from my worn out Edge 520. Better display. Usable maps. Much better battery life.
I haven't used it yet, I assume it works. It is a spare.
I use my Garmin 530 on my road bike and indoor trainer.......I upgraded from a 130 and love the larger screen
I bought this as a replacement for the Garmin Edge 520. Very happy with the choice
To tell me how fast I am riding and the time riding ant the total difference gone.
Used for long distance riding.
For most of us this computer has everything that we need
Had it for about a month. Love how easy it works.
I am using this 530 edge on my training rides using the power meter and the lap controls to see my specific results.
In traffic it is invaluable. I am use to using my helmet mirror but this easier and safer as it is hard to see the road and use the helmet mirror
Would have given it a 5 star review if it didn't have so much information that I don't need. Disabling windows so to be able just to use the main data I use!
