Great Tool with lots of metric logging
on May 13, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
Fits nicely on the bike that allows easy view access to the metrics that matter. Logs all metrics needed to dial in training efforts and workouts.
One thing I need to understand is how to incorporate the Fenix & Edge for multi sport activities. Is there an easy way to hand off swim to bike and bike to run using these 2 devices?

Best Garmin Edge Yet!!!
on May 13, 2023
Posted by: Androculese
I pulled the trigger and upgraded from the Garmin Edge 1033 Plus. I’m so happy I did! Was definitely worth upgrading. The light network and pairing is much more stable and improved - so is the connection to my phone. The screen layout is more logical and improved. I love the weekly outlook training plan and the bolder larger screen fonts for this middle-aged guy whose screen sight isn’t as great as my younger years is great. I also had to communicate with Garmin Help and they were extremely quick and helpful in addressing my issue. I’ve upgraded every Garmin Edge all the way back from the Edge 500 and will continue to so moving forward.

Great Features in General

Posted by: Garmin Edge 1040 Solar
I was lucky enough to get my hands on it as soon as it became available. The Edge 1040 is much faster (e.g., when calculating routes or finding POIs) than the 1030 Plus. The new user interface looks more modern and is more intuitive.
Sometimes is freezing and I need to restarted.

Easy to read display

This unit is perfect for me. It has every feature you can want on a bike computer as well and the ability to have larger font display and can be seen in bright sun. These factors are extremely important to me at 53 and living in the intense Arizona sun. This is a worthwhile investment in anyone's cycling gear.

Great upgrade from an older 1030

Very responsive, long life battery and solar charger actually has a positive impact. I loved my 1030, but it was getting frustratingly slow, this is just what I needed.

Does it all, and well!

My old 800 finally wore out. Loved that computer. I wasn't sure what to do for a replacement. I went all in and so glad I did! First, I don't need readers in my sunglasses in order to read the screen and I LOVE that! Second, I really didn't appreciate what a big deal the charging feature would be for me but it is really a fantastic addition. I just returned from a weekend biking/camping trip. What a relief to know that I did not have to worry about whether or not my computer had enough charge for another ride. It even gained a lot of charge on the day it rained all day. And, so happy that it handeled the rain just fine.
I am still learning some of the new features of this one like the live tracking. It is a cool feature and adds to safe riding.
I have my 1040 paired with the heart rate monitor and the speed/cadence monitor.
I was concerned the 1040 was going to be too large but it is smaller than my phone. I have ended up liking the size.
Gotta say, I am enjoying the bluetooth and wifi connections too. I sure did like my 800 and was sorry to see it croak after so many years but I like the 1040 way better. Haven't found a flaw in it so far.
