I picked this up a month ago and so far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Excited to use it this summer for all my longer events. Also enjoying the built in training plans.

I received this as a gift almost a month ago after researching this and similar devices for a long time, I am really glad that I got it. It tracks all the data points that are important to me and more. I don't know whether I'll ever run it out of battery but I'll give it try!

Really happy with this computer!

It's helping me train with power, which I'm doing for the first time. It's really well suited for it.
My only issue is that its hard to remember how to navigate to stored courses and pick one to ride.

Upgraded from Edge 810 to 1040 Solar
on February 21, 2023

I upgraded from the Edge 810 to the 1040 Solar. Amazing how much of a difference. Faster start-up, more stable bluetooth connectivity, Livetrack works reliably and the battery life is outstanding . I like the larger screen with customizable data screens. The navigation functions are much better and as I travel my routes I receive "High Traffic" and "Sharp Turn Ahead" warnings. No regrets!

Larger screen - luv touch screen & climb details

Haven't had many rides with the 1040S so far but my initial impression is that it is so much easier to view and navigate around the menus than the 530. Love all the more detailed climb info. I still have a lot to learn about all the new features. Looking forward to using it more as Winter turns to Spring. BTW - Also, impressed with how the solar adds battery life.

Better than expected

I knew this is their flagship model, packed with all the features, but I was still a little blown away with how much it really does. I've been a long time Garmin user and am impressed with the UI updates and features of the 1040 over previous models. Yes, you're practically riding with a big screen TV but the ability to see key stats at a glance outweighs the... weight. Living in an area with a lot of exposure, the solar charging seemed a good idea and after a 5 hour ride the battery was still at 93%. The climb pro automatically kicked on for a hill on route which was a nice surprise and the stamina feature is one I'll keep an eye on over time. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this device.
