It’s a solid product with many features

While do enjoy this product I would like to see it work with my rowing more seamlessly. Tying directly to Hydrow and working in coordination with the my Garmin watch would be great.

1040 solar for the win!
on November 28, 2023
Posted by: Mitch J
Did a 7 day bikepacking trip in September starting with a full charge. After 7 days of riding using turn by turn directions, some up to 8 hours of recording, I finished with just under 50% battery remaining. Others on the trip were barely making it through one day before recharging. Love the climbpro and navigation. Not cheap and won't get you completely off the grid but certainly lets you travel much lighter or save that battery bank for your phone on longer trips.

Incredible great features with colorful display

I bought this one a few weeks back and I'm very happy I did. It has taken me to many great places around northern Boston already. It's pricy but worth every penny of it!

Incredible Metrics
on November 24, 2023
Posted by: karcod
After three weeks still discovering much of what this device can do. Love configuring different data screens for various metrics.
Fantastic integration with Rally RK200 pedals, Varia RTL515, Varia UT800, dual HRM and speed sensor 2. Still figuring out which apps and data fields to use from ConnectIQ. Highly recommend!

Big screen, not as helpful as I thought it would be
on November 20, 2023
Posted by: Sean L
I have an Epix 2 watch and I purchased this for the trail routing which is impossible to follow on a watch. For that purpose the 1040 has been awesome. I was expecting better screen resolution for the price, often it is difficult to read in bright light. I would probably go with a smaller less expensive version next time. Also, unit fails to turn off or will go into sleep mode and drain the battery.

Garmin wants a review already, I have only two weeks of use so far.
Wait Garmin!, I will get back to you in due time.

Don't wait to upgrade
on November 15, 2023
Posted by: TheGuyWritingTheReview
I upgraded from a several-year-old 1030, and boy did I wait too long. The battery life is amazing, especially in the cold (even without solar). The unit is far more responsive. The data screens and display are way better. All-around, it was money well spent to move on from the old device, especially for longer rides in poor / cold conditions.

Great battery. Issues with accessories
on November 9, 2023
Posted by: QUADZILLA
I love the abttery life. Love the screens and eas of use.
Cons:
Doesnt work with my Varia vision and according to requestS, it doesn't appear it ever will. Severely degrades the value IMO.
For some reason, I cannot get it to recognize my older radar units.
