Garmin might have been feeling a little heat from Wahoo.
The 830 and 540 were much more solid. The 840 and 540 seem like solid follow-ups too.
I presume you meant 530 in your first sentence. I agree that the 520 was a bit of a dog and the 530 was a huge improvement. I haven’t tried the 40 series Garmins yet, but I get the impression they are more of an incremental upgrade. Or are they much better?
