Responsiveness
The processor has been improved dramatically compared to the Garmin Edge 520. It calculates the route twice as fast as its predecessor, and is generally much faster to operate while the responsiveness of the buttons has also been improved. The 2,6" (6.6 cm) clear colour display is easy to read in sunny conditions.
Extended battery life and water resistance
The battery life of the Garmin Edge 530 has also been improved significantly and is now up to 20 hours. If you switch to Battery Save mode you can use it up to 40 hours. The Edge 530 has an IPX7 water rating, which means it is protected against the worst weather conditions. Are you going to ride in pouring rain for several hours? No problem. The Edge 530 keeps the water out while submerged up to 1 metre for 30 minutes.
Live Track and Strava Live Segments
The developers of the Garmin Edge 530 have equipped it with a great number of 'smart' functions. For a connection with your smartphone or the internet, the Garmin has Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. After connecting to your smartphone, you can use the Smart Notifications to be informed of any incoming calls or Emails during your ride. In addition, you can share your location with anyone at home through LiveTrack. Are you going for a long ride? Use Weather Alerts to know if a rain shower is coming your way. It is also possible to display Strava Live Segments. Are you an avid MTB rider? Then the Trailforks app and MTB Dynamics function are indispensable for your ride.

Garmin is very nice because you can do your workouts very well because of the heart rate monitor. The navigation allows you to cycle a nice route.

5 / 5
Top device
Recently started cycling. I already had a Garmin Fenix pro but I still wanted a cycling computer for navigation and also my workouts. I didn't want to buy an expensive device right away. This device is in a word perfect. Good for beginners zat features, clear navigation, loud volume and long battery life. The only downside is that when I start an activity on the Garmin, the heart rate of my Fenix watch is not transferred to the training. So for now, I train with the Fenix's activity. So you are actually required to buy a heart rate monitor, had I known this I would have bought the bundle straight away. I expected since the Fenix and Edge work with the same Garmin connect app this data would be combined. Installing it is a snap in a few minutes. Would recommend it to anyone.
