I use my Garmin 530 on my road bike and indoor trainer.......I upgraded from a 130 and love the larger screen
Review by DFWKen
My new 520 computer is great except that the unlit contrast is not adjustable.
I stepped up from a Garmin 500. The display was smaller, but I could see it. Riding in the sunlight with sunglasses and I cannot see the display. It's back in a shadow. I could look across to the rider's 520 next to me and it was easily visible. I could read his, but because of Sun angle, couldn't read my own.
The old 500 didn't have such problems. I dont' know what the difference is. But the 520 is not as good for me in this respect. The computer is great . . . .just don't expect it to be easy to see the display in bright sunlight.

The Edge 830 does everything that I was after in a bike computer. Simple to use and provides great feedback.

The battery life is great and I like the touch screen. I don't have any complaints.

To tell me how fast I am riding and the time riding ant the total difference gone.

I like the fact that it has a very long battery life so I can now use my phone as a phone not a tracker.

Enough features for this novice cyclist. User guide could do better for linking speed & cadence sensors but after-market on-line help is available and very helpful.

I like this product. It does pretty much everything I would want except serve pizza!
Review by Gary Sandel
I use it every time I ride my bike either on the road or my trainer. And now I am planning to use it on my runs too. So far, I have not seen any flaws yet.

I loved the product, it brings just enough to go out on a bicycle

Couldn't see the screen very well. Have to keep the back ground light on. Set screen brightness to 7. I can see it fine then. Having a little trouble with cadence sensor disconnecting but I feel confident I can correct this. With the screen light on I had to disable bluetooth to get battery life greater than 100 miles. At 100 miles I have 62 percent battery remaining. I like the out front mount. While bluetooth was on my rides uploaded to Garmin Connect and Stava without any problems. I wear dark sunglasses. Others may not need the screen back ground light on.

Larger screen is great. Functionality and ease of use is also great. Loaded with features. A little on the pricey side.

I am using this 530 edge on my training rides using the power meter and the lap controls to see my specific results.

Love how easy communication w/ strava app and all sensors (heart rate monitor and cadence sensor for me).

It could have been better if the screen is a little bigger
