on March 3, 2025
Posted by: JoeJack60
This is the most important device on my bike. It records my results, keeps me informed about my other Garmin and Shimano components and provides safety by alerting my of vehicles and other cyclist approaching from behind.

Upgrading my old 1030 to the new 1040
on February 19, 2025
Posted by: Chuck P.
I really enjoyed the ease of replacing my old 1030 to the newer 1040. Most of the features were the same. Overall the device was very user friendly and controls intuitive/instinctive.
I did experience an issue with the lap counter and start/stop buttons on the 1040. However I soon realized it was a user error and not a problem with the device. I am very happy with the purchase. I would like to thank Jason again for explaining the errors on my old 1030 along with his advice to upgrade to the 1040.

Still under review

Replaced my 1030 and am still learning the differences. This unit does not connect with my DUB like my old unit did, not sure where the disconnect lies. The screen that is integrated with Training Peaks workouts is different and I do not like it as much but, there may be an identical screen which I have not found yet. Other then those 2 issues, I love it.

Fantastic bicycle computer!
on February 4, 2025
Posted by: GeR2
I love this bicycle computer. I am a cyclist of decades. Having a bicycle computer makes things interesting. In my opinion, they are an essential complement if you are really into the sport. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 810. It was a huge jump in many regards. The screen is brighter, the navigation is better, the battery life is plenty for my needs, it has functionality galore. You can pair it with websites like Strava for further analysis of your activity. I love this gadget because it makes my ride more interesting and helps me stay focused when I am out there. The only take away is that it is a bit pricey. I was lucky to find it at a good price. I plan on using it for years, so the investment was worth it. Finally, I would recommend buying a silicone case to protect it in the event that you drop it by accident. As a bonus, if you have a credit card that has a free extended warranty option, definitely go that route like I did.

Features are a little confusing
on February 4, 2025

I think the user interface could be more user friendly. Admittedly I’m almost 70 years old but I consider myself fairly savvy with technology. I prefer pull down menus.
