GarminEdge 530 GPS Computer(Return to Product Page)

This is an amazing computer I would highly recommend it to anyone from everyday commuters to World Tour pro cyclists. One of my favorite things about this computer is the navigation features and how easy it is to use. It will give you turn by turn directions and read aloud the directions. I think everyone needs one of these because of how easy it is to use.

This will track anything you want in a workout, it has lots of buttons and whistles......But I bought it for back/Hearing issues.

With The EDGE 530 is connected to the VARIA RT515 I can track the traffic Behind me. This is exactly why I bought it and its AWESOME! I would not ride without it . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Full retail price a little painful for me, but this does what it says it will. Supplied mounting hardware works, the screen is visible and informative, and it quickly pairs with the Varia radar unit and my Vivoactive 3 watch (for heart rate). That said, I find the side buttons difficult to operate, and it took me a while to figure out how to navigate all the different display options (still learning).

I upgraded from the edge 520 to the edge 530. A nicer unit with some upgraded features.

The setup is not very user friendly. Necessary to watch YouTube videos for instructions.

Good bike computer, I like that it gets brighter when I ride a dark trail but the normal display on a sunny day with dark sunglasses on is difficult for an experienced (67 years old) rider to see all of the values. Will remove some data and try larger fonts I guess. Overall good value, battery life and product performance.

This is the best cycling computer I have used to date. The battery life is phenomenal. The boot time is faster than I can open Strava. I can upload my rides from zwift so it can calculate my training load. I used the edge 820 prior to this and the upgrade is well worth the price.

Upgraded from a 5+ year old model. Battery life and satellite acquisition is great, and maps have been useful when trying some new routes on the fly as well as doing some "asynchronous group rides" with planned routes. Garmin needs to work on the interface...too many buttons on the device and too many clicks to do the basics.

I love all of the metrics you can get from the Edge 530. I especially like the detailed maps, turn notifications, nutrition/hydration alerts, and climbpro. The unit has a great screen that is easy read even in the bright sun. The user interface takes some getting used to. I also had trouble with routes I loaded constantly telling me to make a U-turn even though I know I am going right way.

I mainly purchased this for navigational purposes, but also use it on local rides. Interface is user friendly and easy to get accustom to. Climb profile is a neat touch! Navigation has been pretty spot on. Happy with the purchase

I would give it 5 stars if I understood or had all the gadgets needed to get all the info this computer can display ... Cadence, HR, Distance, Time of day, is all need.

Lots of improvement from 520. Quicker loading and connection. Longer battery life and auto reminders are great. Connects very well with my 2 powermeters, no more drops. I got my order on time. Thanks BTD.

Great upgrade over 520 while retaining a lot of the familiar button sequences you are already used to. Big time improvement in battery life. YUUUUGGGEE battery. It's very bigly. Biggest battery ever I'm told. Color display is crisp, size is right, not too big, not too small.

With my 8-year old Edge 520 showing its age (battery life, location accuracy, Bluetooth consistency), BTD's daily special could not have come at a better time! After several months' use, I am still really happy with the 530's expanded functionality, ease of use, and L-O-N-G battery life.

I had an old version for several years and the 530 is far superior is like day and night difference.

Display can be set up in many different ways, I don't have to wait for satellites to be found and at night the screen adjust itself too a cozy background.

I haven't fully discover all about it but so far I'm loving it, thanks Garmin.

I had been waffling on replacing my increasingly unreliable 6+ year old Edge 520. BTD had a Special Offer that I couldn't pass up! Frankly, I am still on a learning curve for the new functionalities available, but the unit (and those new features) is proving more useful than I expected. Battery life easily exceeds my needs (even for 5-6 hour weekend rides).

Been using a Garmin smart activity watch for years. The cyclometer offers so much more. Very convenient to add road maps and now trailforks. The button interface can be a bit of a learning curve if not use to Garmin interface. Linking phone was easy and seems to be very reliable.

I had a Garmin Edge 520 for a couple of years with no issues. Although I was very happy with the 520, I decided to upgrade the the Garmin Edge 530. I really like the functionality and accuracy of this product. The stats and functions of the 530 are very impressive with a larger screen. Excellent quality product!

This is the computer with the most MTB features out there, it comes in a small form factor and the button only interface makes it the better suited for MTB riding .

I love the 530! I had an old 500 and it was time to upgrade. Love the larger screen and the mapping capability. Very easy to use and much easier to read.

Decided to go with this one vs the 830 because I thought the extra price for really just the touch screen was a bit much. I have not regretted not having the tough screen.

Would definitely recommend!

It works well, has the screens I need, and is fairly easy to personalize, but don't buy if connecting to your iPhone is important
