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.

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).
5% off through paypal with a Chase card starts tomorrow (Oct 01 )

True but if you purchase today, transaction won't post until at least tomorrow so you should be fine. I bought mine on 9/28 on ebay with my Discover card and their 5% Paypal promo, which ends today, and that transaction is still in its 'pending' stage so really hoping it hits 'posted' tonight.
This is a very good deal for a very useful training tool if you are even a little serious about cycling or want to improve. Got data? Connect this with a dedicated heart rate monitor (not an Apple Watch), a power/cadence meter and eTap/AXS or Di2 and you will have training metrics that were once only available to pros.
Sram rival AXS now offers an in spindle power meter for $260. Power is now available to anyone who sees its value.
It's not for everyone but there is no question that this is a good deal if you're in the market. Hammerhead and wahoo aren't even close to that price.

Oh, I thought it should be the time you submit the order, not the time when the transaction posting. Thank you for correcting me.
Bought directly from GPSCITY website is $10 cheaper. I just ordered one and will ship to singapore with forwarder. Hopefully it will give me another level of experience with pairing of my Garmin forerunner 245.
Thanks OP.
I finally upgraded my 510. Even though it still works great, I ride with younger, faster guys and sometimes get separated, the group track feature is a must and I can know what direction they went and how fast they are traveling.
I placed my order at gpscity as well. I bought varia 515 radar earlier and linked to my watch. It has been working fine. Only problem is I have to raise my watch to check how many cars behind me. Now, I think I will just mount 530 on my bike for safety and all those activity reading while I ride. I'll be more than happy to own this device for 139 dollars for few years. I have been thinking about it for a while. I just can't justify why am I paying few hundreds dollars extra for a units that my watch can provide already although it's not that perfect. I still do long hike, running and other activity a lot. So, watch is quite useful for all other activities tracking and information providing.
