Great Tool

This is a great tool to use while riding. The size and clarity of the display is excellent. Also, the ability to configure multiple pages is fantastic. I use it on every ride and have 6 or 7 screens setup based on the bike I am using.

Could Be Better

After 3 years of purchase battery seems to drain faster and recharge time takes a long time considering other Garmin products do not. Recently, the audio alerts for heart rate, speed/pace and navigation turn audio prompts do not work. Support has escalated the issue with a diagnostic log to no avail. Support in the past has been good, but this one is lagging. I sometimes question updates that seem to break something and fixed with a future update. Otherwise, the Edge 1040 works well.

I"m completely satisfied with my Edge 1040. I has been an excellent upgrade from my Edge 530.

Edge 1040 Is An Amazing Cycling Computer

Edge 1040 is a great cycling computer - amazing battery life! Great features.

Great Display Size, But Quirky Connectivity

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.

Big Screen. Lots Of Data

Large easy to read screen. GPS acquires quickly, sensors recognized quickly and easily.

Good Computer.

I bought 1 month ago and feel so happy. This mini computer help me a lot.

I had many Garmin over the past 15 years, this one is faster, brighter, and longer battery life anything I’ve had to this point. They just keep getting better. I have previously owned the 540, 840, 1040, and 850. I do like this for the best, but it is big, and it’s probably not the best for mountain biking.

First Bike Computer....i'm Sold

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.

Complicated.

The Garmin Edge 1040 is very easy to install on the bike. However it is not so easy to use. It is probably extraordinarily good for those who want to have a training regime, but if you’re looking for something that will help you just find the trail that you’re on and measure your distance your altitude gain and the simple biking things that you might want this may not be the instrument that best fit fits your needs. I bought it because it fit with the radar/tail light that I have and I know that it will do everything I want but it just isn’t easy to get there.

Incredible Unit

The screen is clean and easy to use for rides. Customizable screens and for different bikes. I can use on my road bike and e bike.

Garmin - Edge 1040

Have used this on 10 rides now and its been great. Really easy to set up and has been seemless connecting to other devices.

Great Tool

Very nice shape and accuracy computer Great connection and easy handling

Help With My Garmin

I had call3ed and ask for help with my Garmin Edge. The battery was running low all the time and won't last through a 50 mile ride. The woman I spoke with was very helpful in changing the settings which has completely fixed the problem. I'm on my 4th ride without a charge where as I barely made one before. Thx for the help.

Not Too Big

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.
