July 17th, 19. After just a few short weeks I dropped this on accident and shattered the screen. The device was still functional and could record but other then that I could not see any display. Thankfully I purchased the accidental damage coverage. The best example I can say about the quality of the screen build is that of a cell phone in 2007. One drop and its toast. Definitely disappointing but I do have a new one coming on Friday thanks to the purchase protection. Hopefully Garmin will take note of this in the future and improve the quality/hardness of the screen.
June 26, 19. I received this after pre-ordering on Amazon and waiting about 7 weeks. Others have mentioned button issues but I have had no problems. Navigation has been interesting as OSM data is not always accurate with reality, I've tried updating OSM and I am waiting to see how long it will take for my changes to propagate to Garmin's side. I do like that it automatically turns on my Bontrager lights and through the widgets menu I can see the light status and battery levels. Connection to other ANT+ devices, cadence sensor and heart rate (on my watch) were very easy. Creating data screens is nice and having so much information has been great but I quickly became overwhelmed with the amount available. I think I need to revisit screen config and make it only a few fields. Battery life has been excellent, I typically commute to and from work as well as ride throughout the day to lunch or the coffee shop and I've only charged the device twice (also after a 35 mile ride to the beach). Kit came with all the accessories listed and it is very stable on the out front mount. Have yet to try the trailforks maps but I have signed in and added my favorites.
I'll update as more time passes.

Good, but could has better image resolution.
The Garmin itself is useful and comes with the three sensors (cadence, velocity and chest band HRM), attachment base, USB cable and other stuff.I use bifocals lenses regularly in case I need to read something, but I don't want to use it when riding my bike cause I can see very well at distance. But the problem is that barely can see the data on the Garmin, maybe if it had a better image resolution I could see the data more clearly.Although the problem is not the Garmin but certainly it could has better image resolution.At Beach Camera I found the best price for this bundle, although I had to be patience for the delivery.

As a pilot who has used a few different models of Garmin in the cockpit (430, 530, G1000), I was curious how this unit stacked up against the other options out there. After all, the Wahoo Element ROAM and Hammerhead Karoo were developed by cycling experts, while the Garmin was developed by GPS experts. The latter was great with the technology, but covered many different modes of transportation. I imagined that Wahoo or Hammerhead would "understand" the needs of the cyclist better. But ultimately, it was my experience with Garmin and the reviews of others that made me pick the Edge 530. So to be fair, I cannot compare it with the offerings from Wahoo or Hammerhead, and can only speak for this unit.
There is a lot to this small screen that I am still learning, but it is Information Central on my rides. The 530 lacks the touch screen of the 830, but riding on bumpy gravel paths, the touchscreen would not only be of limited use beyond configuring things at the breakfast table before a ride, but in fact could prove a nuisance if accidently touched during a ride.
And now - THAT HIDDEN BUTTON! If you read nothing else about the 530 - read this....
The buttons on each side are easy enough to get used to. There is one big button however that many people apparently miss (I picture it with this review). It's perhaps the most important one of all, because without pressing it, everything on the 530 remains simply a plan and NOT an active route. It is at the bottom of the screen next to the USB port. I was wondering why my rides never started recording. The GPS directions were working, but the ride clock remained at zero. It turns out that this "play" button at the bottom of the screen - which is essentially hidden visually and less tactile than the more obvious side buttons - is key to the unit's operation. I was so confused as to why my rides never started that I called Garmin tech support and the guy on the phone laughed and said he had the same problem when he first got the unit (before he worked for Garmin) and it took him a few rides to figure it out. So if this review is any help at all - look at ALL the buttons on the unit - not just the ones on the side!
That of course brings up one more piece of this review. Tech support was responsive, effective and engaging. In all, the Garmin Edge 530 is highly recommended by this cyclist.

A helpful road companion ... with a secret button

Okay - well it was a secret to me at least. I'll get to that button in a moment after a quick user review of this device.Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021
