1040 review
on August 1, 2022
Posted by: Will shall see…
I owned Edge 1000, 1030, and plus now I own the 1040 solar. The software is significantly faster and graphics look a little better than the plus. My biggest concern which cause me to constantly upgrade was connectivity. So far 1040 has connected to all my bike products through a completed ride. The next test will be a longer ride for battery life and connectivity. Navigation is really nice For years Garmin was is still has the best bike computer for Navigation. It’s not perfect but no one is in the same league. Solar is a good feature so I don’t have to charge the computer for more than a day. The body feels thinner like the old Edge 1000. The software upgrades destroyed the performance of my old computers which force me to look for a better option. I will consistently monitor the data and connectivity to determine Garmin got it right.
Thanks

Purchased the 1040 S a month ago. Easy to read the data with the large screen. Completed the Death ride without worrying if the battery would last

Outstanding Product

New software features are great! Stamina data has been very useful.
Training partner based on power is very cool and challenging, don't get cocky!
Satellite and Sensor acquisition is on point and navigation is much tighter than the 1030

1 Month Use
on July 22, 2022

I have been using the Garmin 1040 Solar for almost a month now. (1030 for 6 years before) It is a nice upgrade. The new software menu is fine. The solar feature is ok, value of it depends on the user. I think the non solar is probably better value, imo. It does sync faster, connect wifi better, and the screen seems much better in daylight. It is a little quirky if you are trying to power off, it likes to go to sleep and not offer power off more often. Often it takes about 3 times holding to power button before the power off screen button shows. Difficult to tell max hours of power. Most of my rides are 2 - 4 hours. But if I don't connect to G Express/Connect for a few rides there are no concerns. If you ride multi day rides or multiple centuries it could really pay off.
