If you use these links I get a small kickback upon your purchase which I use to maintain this website. Looks & Specs You can definitely tell the difference between the two devices, the newer Edge 530 has a bit rounder design and sports a larger screen. The buttons look a bit nicer and the overall feel of the 530 is in my opinion not a ‘cheap’ feeling. Since look and feel is mostly personal, I’ve put them next to each other in the following images. The first two are only the 530’s new MTB feature and the ClimbPro feature.
