Excellent battery life and all the features one could want in a head in unit, use it everyday and can handle all my 15+ hour rides and only really needs to be charged once a week

I bought this Garmin 1040 Edge solar for my 200 mile(double Century) ride to ease up on battery wear out. And it did help me. Now I kept on Using it.
While in heavy pursuit by feral ranch chihuahuas on the gravel roads of Oklahoma you’ll never make a wrong turn with the edge. It also sucks up the sun on the treeless roads to last longer than you can.
Garmin 1040 does everything Garmin promised. The controls are not completely intuitive but not too dig ft oily to figure out. Solar charging and battery life has exceeded my expectations on how long this thing can go between plugging in to recharge.

It works

I am enjoying the Edge 1040 Solar. The interfacing apps work (TyreWiz, My Bike Radar). It has been connecting to phone, apps and sensors flawlessly thus far.
I don't usually rave about cycling products, but Garmin really has got this market sector nailed w/ their bike computers.
I love everything about their Edge computers - especially the battery life and massive screen. I can fit darn near every metric I care about on one screen, so I'm not swiping around to get the data I want.
If you're looking for a large screen with amazing battery life, this bike computer is for you.
Overall, I am pleased with this device. One notable improvement would be to refine the contrast of routes when the screen is set to auto adjust brightness. Perhaps bold segmented lines would show up better than washed out arrows over a washed out route color? This issue is unavoidable on sunny days when attempting to prolong battery life.
