After my old Garmin fitness tracker died and my very old Garmin computer started fading, I decided to upgrade to something that could be used for both. I went with the S model to fit my small wrist, and while still larger than I'm used to, it is not overly bulky. Works great for all kinds of fitness tracking, phone notifications, and spotify playlists (when I don't want to take my phone for a run). As a bike computer, it connected easily to my existing heart rate band and cadence/speed sensors on my Trek. Using the navigation requires creating or uploading a route into Garmin Express and then exporting to the watch, but the navigation on the watch itself works well (tiny screen but the prompt beeps are helpful). I mount the watch to my handlebars using a rubber holder I got online, and it is sturdy and visible. Overall, very happy with the purchase.
A great feature set for riding. I've been using this on road, gravel and mtb with specific and customizable profiles for each discipline. The maps are great, and I was impressed at how accurate the trail maps have been. This is my first bike computer having relied on my garmin watches in the past. I've since added a cadence sensor and hrm, both of which provide good info when connected to the 530. One feature I thought was goofy, but have had fun with after riding with it for a while, is the 'jump' recording in the MTB profile. Measures distance and hang time, which of course has translated to passing this around to see who can go the biggest. I was skeptical, but jumped during the sale and glad I did.
These are the best headphones I have used. The paired with my iPhone instantly, they have great sound and sufficient volume that I can use them when cruising at speed on my bicycle, yet I can, at the same time, hear cars and other ambient sounds needed for safe riding. The one drawback soon to be corrected is that they only last about 3 hours, sufficient for most of my rides, but far less than advertised. I contacted Aftershokz customer service and they are sending me another set. I call that superb customer service. These are definitely worth the price.
No wires, no remote sensors with dead batteries, easy menu system, automatically synchs to my profile, and is a display for the awesome Garmin Varia radar tail light. I have always opted for simple computers, not big into tracking my numbers. Just make it simple. The EDGE 130 gives me simple, plus my basic stats are there automatically if I want to look them up, including elevation gain. Best computer (and tail light) I've had out of the last 5 or so. I wear the HR monitor about once a month to be sure I'm not dead (so far, so good). The 130 doesn't seem to mind.
