Been a Wahooligan mainly, but switching over to the 1040 Solar was definitely worth it. Amazing bike computer with some very nice features. Highly recommended.

AMAZING BATTERY LIFE

I'm used to having to pull of my cycling computer and charging it after every ride. I've had this unit for 3 weeks and put 500 miles on it and charged it initially and one other time. I woke up early one day and started my long ride before sunrise which definitely impacted how much more battery was used. I really like how easy it integrated my HR monitor and how fast it paired with my phone. I do wish that getting turn by turn directions in an urban area was more intuitive but once you do it a few times it gets easier. The turn by turn could be a bit more accurate or I think I'd prefer it to provide a notification earlier. Especially left turns. I want more time to get into a left turn lane while cycling. Other than that I love the product.

My 810 finally bit the dust…it was great too! The 1040 was super easy to set up and get riding. It has a lot more stats than th 810 too which is great!

I've always ridden with the latest Garmin computers. This upgrade was definitely worth it. The new features like Power Guide are great. Cycling ability and course demands features are very useful when riding in unfamiliar areas. I've been very satisfied with this computer which I upgraded to from a Garmin Edge 1030.

It just works - no major bugs on roll out

Migrated DSP wahoo which was good for basic stats. But 1040 solar has so much more and I like the whiz bang charging that keeps it going forever. Needs faster update on gradient (2-3 sec delay). Lie how it controls other brands of lights, and links with phone, HR, power meter etc - ie it just works
