Black Friday Garmin Edge 530 deal
Garmin's Edge 530 is a feature-rich GPS unit featuring a sharp color screen, full mapping and loads of capability whether it's connecting sensors and tracking fitness to recording MTB metrics such as airtime. Features like ClimbPro really help with pacing on climbs and if you have a competitive tendency, you can sync Strava Segments for real-time performance as you chase KOM's.
It's got great battery life too, with up to 20 hours of run time and it's IPX7 rated so you can keep riding through all weathers. While the fancier touchscreens of the more expensive 830 and 1030 are good, the button control of the 530 is really functional, especially if you are wearing gloves.
