I went from 520 to a 830 and I’m very impressed with the 830. When it comes to navigation there’s no comparison. Battery life has been amazing too. My longest ride being four hours long and at the finish I still had 87% left. The touch screen is very responsive. I do have one issue and it’s not a deal killer. I wear an Apple Watch and hence I don’t carry my phone when riding. Upon returning home my 830 won’t automatically connect to the phone via BT unless I bring up the Garmin Connect app on the phone. Once I bring it up it the BT connection is made and the saved ride is uploaded to GC and Strava. On my 520 the BT connection is made automatically without me touching my phone. So I think this is a bug and I have reported it to Garmin.

Thanks for all the advice and info everyone, very useful.
I’ve ended up getting the Bryton Rider 410. £75 new from a very highly rated Taiwan eBay seller.
Same seller has the edge 530 at £140.
At virtually half the price I’ve decided to go with the Bryton.

Do you have a link to the seller? Is this on ebay uk?

Can you buy international Garmins from Asia and have them work in US/Europe? Way back when I was buying my 510 I think that you didn't get the right maps if you bought a unit from Asia and there was zero warranty.
