Battery and heat issues make these much better than a phone. I live in Texas and my phone would overheat very quickly in the sun mounted to my handlebars.
I'm just trying to imagine someone showing up for a crit with a giant phone attached to their bars.

Cycling is like any hobby where there are greenway riders who might be fine with a phone stuck on their bars with their hybrid bike. Power meters from stages are $350 and that's pretty cheap compared to other costs, but if you aren't actively training, power means nothing to you.

For folks who are actively into cycling, we need a waterproof device that's lightweight/small, has long lasting batteries, connects to ant+ which iPhones don't do, and can provide all data points on a single screen clearly. $150 for this is cheap.
An Apple Watch isn't syncing to a radar or power meter. There's a lot more to these for serious cyclists than can be provided by the watch and it's comical to think about slapping a giant phone on a road bike.

I'm a 185 lb 52 year old guy and CF rims are the shit. And yes, I wear Lycra. But really, phones just suck on a bike. But you do not need a $300 computer. I run a $40 COOSPO BC107. But for $150, I have it on order.

I use a otterbox mixed with a quadlock so I think my phone would ok. Think I'd be more worried about the damage to my bike in your made up scenario.
Made up? I know of nobody who rides regularly who hasn't dropped their bike.

Move on. Serious riders use this. Non-serious riders don't and can get away with a phone. I used my Garmin 520 Edge for my 85 mile ride this weekend.

I just used my phone for a century a couple of days ago. To each their own I suppose.

Got the Garmin 530 for $195 used from someone off Reddit in Sep 2020. Been solid since, would highly recommend.

Is this a scam? Because Garmin's website specifically says that they don't have authorized dealers on eBay.

What Garmin mentioned in the link is saying "no new" product has been authorized on auction website. This one is refurb. I think it's different. Warranty term is different as well. However, it states Garmin will provide one year warranty. That is the part that I'm not sure.

"Garmin does not have any authorized dealers that sell new products directly on eBay or other online auction sites."

This deal is not a new product

Bought this and my unit is coming today but sort of regret it now since I saw the Edge Explore thread which shows this item is $10 less if buying directly on their website vs. ebay. Also, looks like this refurb unit might not come with the mount - at least the description on their site does not include it.

The Explore unit's screen is bigger (and is touchscreen which I don't care about) and is $50 less so I might consider returning the 530 and getting that. For those interested in that unit, thread is here:

I bought this a few months ago on refurb for $230 so this is a steal! Seamlessly sync's up with my Assioma Favero pedals & Garmin watch for HR. I considered getting a regular smartwatch but for someone who wants to get better at cycling & having proper power analysis, a bike computer makes the most sense. Some smart watches are ant+ capable sure, but with this I never have to take my hands off the bars.

This model isn't touchscreen but honestly I only press the on/off & start/stop button since I've customized my interface. you can use Garmin connect to sync activities to Strava, Google Fit, etc.
For the life of me i can't use my fenix 5x as a HRM.

The Edge Explore is much more slower than the 530. I think you'd get frustrated using it as a mapping/"exploring" device vs using your phone with GAIA or other offline maps.

It comes with both the stem and out front mount. I made the same mistake and purchased through ebay instead of directly through gpscity. Still a fantastic deal.

You are correct - received mine just now and came with several mounts.

Have been using an Edge 130 and this 530 screen is much bigger so am fine with it.

The $140 price on their own site (plus add'l 5% off through paypal with a Chase card) is an awesome deal, especially for MTB'ers since trailfork maps are included (saves you $3/month).
