I’ve been patiently waiting to buy a new Garmin given all these cool new TR features. Looks like one might be on the way soon. https://fccid.io/IPH-03485/User-Manual/User-Manual-4213526.pdf

I’m pretty certain that Apple/Microsoft/Android (list could go on) users have all been victims of buggy software at some point I think if we want to be the cool kids and be early adopters of the latest gadgets, we need to accept the bugs that come with them.

Just seems easier. As soon as I turn the Garmin on it prompts me to calibrate and takes several seconds. At this point my phone is usually tucked away in a pouch in a jersey pocket.

Has anyone manage to pair their 530 with wahoo kickr? I’ve been told by Garmin support that it doesn’t recognise smart trainers but I still can’t quite believe it - my old 520 does

Should be possible according to Ray: Garmin Edge 530 Cycling GPS In-Depth Review | DC Rainmaker [image] [image] [image] And the official Garmin Edge 530 specs page : [image] [image] Seems like it is all pointing to the fact that it should work.

I just tested it with my 530 on the kickr core and it seems to work. I selected the indoor profile and added the core as power meter Edit: So I played around a bit and pushed an outside workout to my Garmin unit. It was a bit tricky as I couldn’t really see it under workouts but it was under tra…

Hehe remembered that I had to push it as an outside workout after I posted my initial comment. Was thinking that you could push the indoor to the indoor profile, but that’s not how it works

So the 520 will connect to it as a smart trainer, you not only get all the metrics back from the trainer but you can control the resistance from the Garmin. You could also load a workout with intervals a run the trainer on egr mode so you can just get on with the workout. The 530 will only connect …

Well, that’s just stupid. Looks like it’s time to start complaining far and wide. Even their own site makes the claim that it will work (as shown above).

It does work… I’ve done a few workouts via the 530, and even today I did Mills, with the trainer controlling my KICKR. [36%20PM] Like others have posted rather than adding the trainer via the Sensor settings menu you add it under the Training menu. Once paired you can press the upper right button…
