@Dubadai is a UX designer and I agree that Wahoo it makes it simple, but Garmin hasn’t stood still. But even simpler for me was getting started in 2016 using Strava and then offline maps/routes in RideWithGPS app. Nowadays an iPhone SE2 is $429. Except on the hottest days when the phone needs to go in my jersey, its hard to beat RideWithGPS and I still see a good number of club members only using phone+Strava and no dedicated GPS computer.
The push button 530 UX is definitely old school, easy to hate on, but for me the features outweigh the UX. Some of the 530 machine learning features are great, I’ve been getting good ftp estimates and predictive fitness increases/decreases for years before TR introduced similar.
Roam2 is a decent upgrade, but like DCRainmaker or someone else said, Wahoo seems to be losing its mojo. Or they can’t make it any more simple, and are reluctant to add features. I dunno.
