Good unit
By William L. Schart on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
I have had and enjoyed using an Edge 520 for a number of years. But the battery has lost significant capacity and I decided it was time for a new one. And I decided I should get something with a few more bells and whistles, specifically navigation wise. So I opted for this. The layout is standard Garmin: on-off and scroll buttons on the left, enter and back buttons on the right, and start-stop and lap buttons on the bottom. No touch screen on this, but I didn’t want a touchscreen. I haven’t yet familiarized myself with all the screens available but I imagine there’s a screen for just about any purpose. I found it pretty easy to pair up with my phone, and also to pair up with my hr and cadence sensors. I have 2 bikes with 2 different cadence sensors and so far it seems to switch seamlessly between the two. My old Edge sometimes wouldn’t switch for reasons I never quite managed to figure out. The display visibility can be tricky. I have found it to be somewhat sensitive to the angle you have it mounted at. For me, having the display face flat instead of slanted a bit back is better. Time of day and season is a factor too. Late afternoon in winter, when the sun is low, can cause difficulties. I might add at this point, that my eyesight is not the best, someone with good vision might have fewer problems. But now that I have the display angle worked out, I can see it pretty well when in the saddle. Having the backlight turned on helps. Battery life is pretty good. I average about an hour to 90 minutes a day, 7 days a week and I can go well over a week before I need to recharge.

Garmin sold me a crippled EU-only device
By Reviewer Gentleman on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025
I was expecting great service on my first bike computer from Garmin, and it's been an utterly insulting experience. I noticed the device was showing a blank screen with no data when using the maps during rides, and they claimed I need to "Manage Maps" on Garmin Express. It was a lie - they sold me a EU-only locked Edge 530 knowing full well the order was done from California and shipped to the US. This isn't just a "oh they made a mistake surely" - they KNEW what they were doing, and just hoped I would give them my money and shrug, not noticing the device is crippled. Garmin needs to do better. This is insulting
