I got my unit all set up, connected to power meter pedals and HR strap.  I bought mine in early July.  On one ride, it wouldn't power on.  I tried and tried and nothing.  I checked to make sure it was charged and left it overnight.  The next day held onto the power button for about 45 seconds.  It made a slight beep then after hitting the button again, it powered up.  I then did a race and had it all ready to go.  I hit the "start record" button and it made the familiar beep but wasn't showing power or speed.  I then tired for the next 2 miles to reset but the unit was freezing and not letting me power it down.  Finally did and turned it back on and it worked the rest of the race.  I just sent it back to the place I got it.  2 failures in a short amount of time is too many for a brand new device for $300.  I started with a Edge 500, then a 510 but not sure I will stick with Garmin anymore.  That was my experience.
