Review by kyvdh10Reviewed 7/12/2019by kyvdh10Cycling EnthusiastKentucky1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Nice upgrade for my bike over the Forerunner 110 I was usingThis product syncs with satellites so much faster than my previous product. Really enjoy that. Still learning all the features and it does seem pretty feature rich. A little disappointed that many Strava features require a paid subscription to Strava and Garmin Connect just doesn't have the same appeal. All that said, I found the display very easily visible in all light conditions. Hasn't dropped a signal yet. Battery life is probably better than I expected which is nice. Would definitely recommend to others.

Review by RelicReviewed 11/28/2020by RelicCycling EnthusiastNew Jersey2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.it's the 520 only betterI have used the 520 for years and love the simplicity and "BUTTONS". I hear a lot of issues with touch screen. With gloves or cold fingers i can't be messing with touch screen. The only reason to swith to 520 plus was for the Varia integration.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 11/8/2020by AnonymousCycling Enthusiast2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I like itI was just looking for an upgrade from the garmin edge, and this checks all boxes. I'm not into power management or heart monitoring, just more things that ain't gonna make me faster. Just train. Still need to discover the potential of this like using the nav for set routes or races. No issues, battery life is good. Would recommend to others.

Review by Alex DReviewed 10/30/2020by Alex DNYC1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Excellent I use this product to record my rides. The unit is dependable and has good battery life. It seems overly-complicated (I prefer Lezyne's fewer buttons) and things like backlight and switching screens can be cumbersome. The screens are customizable, but depending on how many fields you're displaying re-sizing a particular field or fields may not be available. Other than that, the unit works well.

Review by ibnbatoutaReviewed 5/6/2019by ibnbatoutaCompetitive RacerAlexandria VA3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Pretty decent, but the the buttons are cramped on my mountThis has some nice updates, but I miss the specific bike profiles of the 510. The only way for it to read a different bike is if you have a different ANTBluetooth sensor on that bike.
