Reviews over the

Garmin Edge 530

I had started with the Wahoo, but still find this one clearer to follow.

Pros & Cons

Great bike computer with all the functions you need. Programming your own routes on a map is very easy. Only disadvantage is the lack of a touch screen.

Pros & Cons

I hesitated between the 530 and 830 but am very satisfied with my choice (530). The 100 euros cheaper for buttons instead of touchscreen makes it the most value for money in my opinion.

Pros & Cons

Prim, does as expected

Pros & Cons

Smooth /accessible/ visible screen

Pros & Cons

Really the device is not very intuitive, but with a good search on the Internet you can figure it out. Once you get the logic it works just fine. If you want you can adjust it to your taste. First round on the MTB was good, hope to enjoy it for a long time to come!

Pros & Cons

I used a smartphone for route guidance. But then you need a power bank if you are on the road for a few hours. And a subscription to Ride with GPS which costs 10€ p/m.

Pros & Cons

After years of using the 510 with touchscreen bought this one. It's really kind of weird that for this price you don't get a touchscreen. I find that really a loss! Also saving and saving a ride requires more handling. Are there any positives? Yes the display is clear, messages from your smartphone come through, clear navigation, pairing powermeter and Sram AXS group. For a while I considered returning it but after a few rides I am so reasonably satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Works well but setup and navigation could be more intuitive. It is really difficult to find the right settings.

It takes some getting used to when you switch from a garmin with touchscreen to the garmin 530 but after 2 weeks of intensive use you find that it can be done just fine without it.

Pros & Cons

Am a Garmin fan. Garmin has not let me down yet. I have full confidence in this product as well. Navigation has steered me down the wrong path at times. Especially when it comes to crossing a road from bike path left to right of the road. Can be indicated as turning left for example. Other than this point, I am satisfied with the navigation, which I missed on the 520. I like the controls, is just like the 520 only now it seems to be easier.

Pros & Cons

Much better as its predecessor
