Will not sync to my WiFi
on June 9, 2023
Posted by: Clinth
Will not sync to my WiFi no matter what I do , I updated the software, made sure it didn’t have too many WiFi networks on it and tried everything I read online , going to give them a call to figure out why .

Really Enjoy this Bike Computer

Enjoy this powerful bike computer which is a replacement for my Edge 510. Love the Climbpro and solar features and would definitely purchase again. May be the last bike computer I will ever need.

Battery life is great. Did a 6 day bikepacking trip and only needed to charge it twice. However solar does need direct sun exposure so its not as useful as I thought.
I really like the big screen for navigation and lots of data fields.
One negative was that if the the route is long the ProClimb screens are extremely slow. I had to disable that feature unfortunately.

Amazing head unit

Coming from an Old competitors unit, I'm really enjoying the real estate on the 1040. My old unit also never calculated elevation properly. It's the small things in life people, all I want is decent elevation readings. Ha ha. Anyway this is a killer unit, integration with Garmin training was my motivation and having a complete ecosystem makes things so much easier in planning and transferring data.

Excellent device by all means, minor/ish charging problem.

The device has excellent battery life, hundreds of data available to list up to 10x on one screen. For actual use it is fast and reliable, no Bluetooth issues so far! However the charging port initially didn't seem to be charging the device. Solar charging is way cool and it calculates added time while riding in the sunlight/also at rest. Connects all my rides upon stopping straight to Strava and aggregates all my metrics on the garmin app üëçüèº

Love the solar
on June 3, 2023
Posted by: BigRayLuva
I love the solar capability in gaining life for my Garmin. Overall I like the unit and Garmin ecosystem. I rated a 4 because for the past two months, I keep having to re-pair my Garmin to my phone because the Garmin fails to sync my rides over to Strava. I have the latest update so there must be some glitch in the software. Other than that, Garmin All Day.

Overall best I have owned
on May 23, 2023
Posted by: Jhammy
I purchased this to replace an 830 Edge. Overall love the larger screen and the battery life is awesome. The climb feature seems to need some improvement as it isn't entirely accurate on the climbs, showing it has ended when you still have .5 miles to go.
