Garmin010-02060-00 Edge 530, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer with Mapping, Dynamic Performance Monitoring and Popularity Routing

Found a solid deal here for $200. Avid cyclist. Upgraded from both Bryton 460 and Lezyne. Both don't support custom cues and waypoints from Ridewithgps. Battery life at 20 hours is good enough. Very useful battery saver will stretch to 40! Don't use our care about half the features. Good size easy to read. Don't care about touchscreen.If purchasing full retail at $300, stiff competition from Wahoo. Garmin really started and owns the GPS space so great support going forward.NOTE!! Mine came preloaded only with South America maps!! Garmin will take additional $50 for North America. Free OSM maps can easily be downloaded online for the world

Great cycling computer! Maybe a little outdated on a few features like touchscreen and a faster processor but hey, for the price, it's one of the best. Everything I need to know can be tracked or controlled from here.

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.

Had an Edge 705 for years and loved it. The hardware was bombproof, but the software was…kind of third rate. Once I got used to it’s quirks, it was fine.Still, I wanted some of the new features, so I moved to a Wahoo. That was fine…until it wasn’t. Disgusted with them, I went back to Garmin.First ride - eager to try my new toy, I just accepted the default setup and went for a ride. About a hundred yards from the house, I notice the timer is running, but none of the other fields were changing. Then I get an error message “GPS is off”. This left me frantically poking at buttons on the side of the road, without my glasses, trying to find where to turn GPS on. I finally gave up, shoved the Garmin in my pocket and finished the ride. Silly me for thinking the default state of a GPS should be with GPS on. When I got home, after much button mashing, I found it and turned it on.Next ride, I used my “Fatbike” setup. Two minutes into that ride, the screen went black. I managed to figure out how to turn the screen on and have it STAY on - otherwise I might as well use an app on the smartphone in my pocket.Next ride, I start the ride and get a weather warning: Winter Storm Warning - telling me about a storm that wasn’t due until the NEXT DAY. Got home and figured out how to kill that “helpful” feature.A couple of rides later, I go to leave on a ride, and I get a nag about an update. I blow that off and go ride, but when I get back, I try to find said update…and can’t. I do this a couple of times and finally give in and say “ok” and then sit there for a couple of minutes while it updates, before I can go ride my damned bike.The latest feature is that Live Track -which has been working fine - fails and gives me an error code 400. Live Track was the ONE feature I wanted in a GPS and now it’s not working. I may as well have kept my 705 or just ziptied a piece of black plastic to my bars.If I weren’t just outside the Amazon return window, I’d be sending this back with a jar of vaseline.
