Awesome new device!

I love the new workout screen, the power meters are easy to read and make it much easier to stay in range during an interval. The Climb Pro screens are also very useful on prolonged hard climbs. Easy to see what is coming up and pace my effort for the entire climb.

I am using the new 1040 solar for about one month now , I really like all the extra date it provides and it’s very cool not have to charge the unit every week.

It’s great product. I highly recommend it. The maps and syncing work. Once you add the screens you want to view during an activity, it’s full steam ahead!

Disappointed

When I receive a message, the font is way to small and do hard to read with that black background. So disappointed. I have to look at my phone to read them.

I am still riding

Being a ride in my 70, I found the 1040 fast to respond to input and very simple to operate.

Worth upgrading for impressive performance
on September 2, 2022

Upgraded from a 530. Loading courses and navigating is super duper fast. I really enjoy the larger size and I wasn't originally a fan of touchscreens but this is responsive and doesn't jump around in inclement weather. Very easy to use while focusing on traffic and road conditions. Battery life seems to be forever. I'm excited to try this on multidsy touring. I have been struggling to get to the home screen during a ride and the pausing navigation sometimes doesn't work but Garmin has been working through bugs. One last thought - the speaker is really loud to the point where I just disable it on those early morning neighborhood rides.

Best Garmin product yet

Having owned many Garmin products over the past 20 years, I can say that the 1040 Solar is one of the best new Garmin products I have ever used. It works, very few bugs, great design, and user friendly. Good job product team!
