Garmin Edge 1040 GPS Cycling C

The product was exactly what I was looking for and was available at a price that was equal to or better than other sites.

I came from the 1030 Edge, which was somewhat problematic as far as connectivity and syncing activities and routes, but this one seems to be much better. Display appears to be a bit more visible in sunlight, and battery is better. It's easy to use, but I do wish the touchscreens were a little better in wet weather - totally usable, but I have to lock it when it's wet.

I bought this to replace my Garmin 540, only because I needed a bigger screen. So far I love it! Big display is easy to read and it easy to set up and use. Has all the features of the 540 plus many more that I never thought I'd use. It tracks every hill climb, also warns you that the climb is coming up. Warns you that paved road is turning to gravel/dirt. I use it for an indoor trainer, outdoor on my Tri-bike and on a gravel bike. Works great on every application.

I bought this to replace an aging 1030. It was getting buggy and I do long rides of 10-12 hours and the battery would sometimes crap out. This is so much faster and the battery life is insane with the sun in Utah. It also has far more new features than expected. IT was a great upgrade and would recommend to anyone considering a change from a 1030 or older.

I was originally worried that this computer would just be too big but now I love it. The touch screen is fantastic though when it's cold and I have fingertip gloves on it doesn't register consistently. I'm better able to read texts without my cheaters.

I've been using another popular brand for years now and switched before a big bikepacking trip and have no regrets. The capabilities and accuracy of the 1040 solar are great. The solar feature really helped out during a 36 hour race in the mountains with a good deal of shade. Setting up the various templates takes a little work but it's not that bad and it's worth it. I am a huge fan and I'm happy I converted

The main reason I upgraded from an 820 to 1040 was the battery. 820 did everything I needed to do but the battery was horrible. Six hour ride and I was almost done.! Love the 1040 !!! didn't think the biggest screen would make a difference but sure as heck does !

After using the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar for long endurance rides and (SFR 600k) brevets, I can honestly say the battery life and navigation are game changers. The solar charging, multi-band GPS accuracy, and training features make it one of the best cycling computers I've used for ultra-distance riding. It's especially reassuring not having to constantly worry about battery life during long days and overnight events.

i wasn't sure i was going to want to use one of these but its pretty fantastic. UI isn't the most intuitive (for me), but not a burden to figure out. battery life seems really good, I would say probably at least 3 FULL days of riding, which my backside certainly cannot do.

I really like the edge 1040. The display size is great to see all the data at a glance. The primary issue I have with any garmin device is the awkward blue tooth connectivity, sometime you have to remove a devise and re-add it for the garmin to recognize it and connect.
