    Love it!!
    Seems reliable so far no complaints. Battery life is good due to me having sounds off, brightness at 50%, haven’t had it die on me yet. I normally do quite a few rides before I have to charge it again. It also came with the front edge mount as well as the mount that has the rubber attachments. I was not aware and ordered to mountain bike mount, which is what I ended up using with my short stem.

    Broke my 520, bought a 520+

    I like these devices a lot. While I would change a few things, the essential function is spot on. I never have to worry about pairing with sensors working at power-up including my Power Tap power meter. The extended battery is astounding.
    My previous one started shortening in life quickly after 2 years use which was a bummer but before it broke it was still covering 3 hour rides. The plus runs crazy long and should cover 5 hour rides even at half it's current performance. I also greatly appreciate having different display settings for each of my bikes. Finally this model seems to have more processing power. My previous one used to hang occasionally during map tracking functions. Not an issue now.

    That being said, setting up those devices is a pain. Would be nice if they added those configuration settings to the App. Also, when charging on my PC, it sometimes starts beeping every few seconds. I think it's following per interruptions, but whatever. Mostly it does it's job well.

    Do note that THE SCREEN IS GLASS!! I had the previous 520 and washed it with my jersey. It still sort of worked but the glass screen cracked. Understandable, but you should also be aware that the screen can break when dropped. Though this is rare. This time I bought a stick-on glass protector and recommend you do the same. They are cheap and I got a set of four. You can give two to a friend and be a hero!

    I cannot say enough about this bike computer. If you're on the fence on which bike computer to get, just buy this model. Routing on Roads is easy and very good and the Trailforks app is sweet. A friend of mine has the older 520 device and I can say the 520 plus is a huge upgrade and very much worth the extra. I bike 3-5 times per week and love how great this device works. Battery life is really good as well, did an 8+ hour ride and the battery was still at 65%. Also works great with the HR monitor I got from Amazon with the name - CooSpo Fitness Tracker Ant+ Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap IP67 Waterproof with Bluetooth for Wahoo Strava Zwift.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of features in a small package
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021
    Style: Unit OnlyPattern: GPS Bike ComputerVerified Purchase
    I've had this unit's predecessor, the Edge 500, for over ten years; IMO it's still the best cycling computer ever made. But the reset button finally fell out, and the work-around (having to connect the unit to the computer after every ride) was getting too tedious to abide. So I popped for this newer version, the Edge 520 Plus. It has everything the 500 has and lots more, including rudimentary maps, and more extensive power meter features.

    My old Garmin heart rate monitor paired instantly. But beware: I initially had trouble pairing my cadence sensor; I simply couldn't get it to connect until I realized that my sensor was a "cadence/speed" unit. Once I understood that, and scrolled down to the appropriate sensor on the screen, it paired instantly.

    Most of the more sophisticated features are pretty much lost on me because I'm not a racer and don't keep to a strict training regimen. But if you do race and/or train hard, it's difficult to imagine that you'll need more than the 520+ provides.

    The 520 is slightly larger than the 500, but has a significantly larger screen owing to the newer edge-to-edge technology. But the buttons are somewhat harder to access, and significantly-so if you're wearing gloves.

    If you don't need mapping capability, or the sophisticated training features, the smaller Edge 130+ might be a better option. If I had it to do over again, I might go for the latter. Having said that, though, I'm really happy with the 520+.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice unit at the lower end of the Garmin lineup
    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020
    Style: Unit OnlyPattern: GPS Bike ComputerVerified Purchase
    This is one of the lower end models in Garmin's GPS bike computer line. That doesn't mean it's a bad device!

    It's the first in the series to have navigation, going from the 25 to the 1080. Rerouting is kinda slow, but perfectly fine on bike, it will not be suitable for car navigation though. You wont need to load new maps of any sort, if you're in a major metro area, but might need it in more remote areas.

    It is somewhat complicated to get used to, and while I like not having a touch screen on it, some of the buttons require a bit of actuation, which could be good, or bad, depending on your preference.

    The user interface could use some help, but it's no unusable. Just navigation through the menus doesn't always make sense.

    It's highly accurate, though, and will link up with ANT+ devices, and saves rides until your phone can connect, then it auto-syncs them to Garmin Connect.

    My only complaint: I wish Garmin Connect would let you manage the device when it's not powered on, then ship the new state to the device. A bike computer isn't something that stays on all the time, like a watch.

    So, this is my 3rd Garmin unit, one previous watch (Vivosmart), and my new watch (Vivoactive 3). This one does not dissappoint.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for mountain biking
    Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2018
    Style: Unit OnlyPattern: GPS Bike ComputerVerified Purchase
    I use this exclusively for mountain biking. It works well with Trailforks and you can download the MTB trail maps from Pinkbike/Trailforks. It is great to load a route from Strava or Trailforks when going to unfamiliar trail systems. You can follow the purple line on the map and avoid the need to stop at every intersection to look at a map. The MTB turn-by-turn instructions don't work well though. Most of the time it tells me to do a U-turn at each point, but it is easy enough to follow the line on the map. Sometimes the turn instructions do work, which is nice. The unit is very secure with the included mount and it has never come off. Battery life has been good - I would estimate ~10 hours when using navigation, a bit longer if not navigating. This is my first GPS bike computer and I'm very happy with it.
