GarminEdge 530 GPS Computer(Return to Product Page)

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!

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.

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

I came from being a long time 520 user and I really love the 530. I upgraded primarily because my 520 was about 4-5 years old and the battery was really bad. I do gravel events and use the gps course mapping feature a lot in those events as well as in cold temperatures. This is a battery destroyer typically but the 530 has held up very very well on 6-7 hour elasped time for gps mapping, colder weather (30-40F), power meter, bluetooth phone, and brightness dimmed to 20%, and GPS enabled. Looking beyond the extended battery life are features that go above and beyond the 520.

Use this mainly for road rides. The battery life is awesome.

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 .

Works great, I will be adding a heart rate monitor soon. That will be followed by a power meter soon after. Hopefully it all works out but as of now, its great.

I used both Wahoo and Garmin. Garmin has incident detection! yep, safety first people!

Bike comp that's accurate is always excellent. Not to mention battery life is awesome

I haven't used it yet, I assume it works. It is a spare.

I use my Garmin 530 on my road bike and indoor trainer.......I upgraded from a 130 and love the larger screen

I bought this as a replacement for the Garmin Edge 520. Very happy with the choice

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

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

Would have given it a 5 star review if it didn't have so much information that I don't need. Disabling windows so to be able just to use the main data I use!

I upgraded to the 530 because I appreciated it's functionality over my older 520. Lots of training dynamics data, maps galore should you want to consult them, and an easy-to-read screen. I prefer a smaller display than the 1030 range, more compact in cockpit and lighter. Good visual interface with Garmin Varia radar. Only drawback is that the battery may require more frequent recharging, depending how many features you activate.

The Edge 530 has been a great addition to my cycling. With the integration w Garmin Connect, its very easy to create training workouts, custom routes, and also more detailed performance stats from each of my rides. I've used it for both road, gravel, and mountain biking and its well suited for each discipline. The battery life is solid. I've only done 1 longer (5 hours) ride with it, but had no concerns of it dying somewhere along the way. Normally, I use it for several 60-90 minute rides a week and typically only charge it once every other week. It integrates seamlessly with all of my sensors (garmin speed and cadence), heart rate strap (garmin chest strap), and lights (garmin varia headlight, garmin varia radar). It has changed my cycling experience. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that periodically there are some small annoyances like auto downloads restarting your ride, but these are few and far between.

This is my first GPS bike computer. It has taken a little time to learn, but it gets better with each ride.

The Edge 530 replaces my 5-yr. old Edge 820. I am much happier with the 530 because: 1, my screen would go haywire in the rain; 2, much faster processing with routes; 3, better looking screen that does not reminds me of my Palm Pilot; 4, much better battery life. The new firmware is also less buggy so, yeah, I am glad that Garmin (finally) up their game. I was seriously considering switching to a Wahoo Element or a Karoo Hammerhead. I would have given it 5 stars if the screen has better resolution and color-there is not excuse in 2021 to have a screen from a 20 yr. old flip phone!
