Good unit, still needs work.

Overall, this unit performs well, but it lacks compatibility with its watch counterparts and the true-up function, which leads to inaccurate data when used with Garmin Connect.

Great Unit-Could Have Been Better
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: TrekGuy33914
I like the large screen that provides enough room to have several data boxes without making the data so small that I can't see it. I like that it shows average speed in tenths and hundredths when it is paused, but I would like it so much more if it would display the hundredths on the average speed data box while I am riding. (I feel I would push myself harder if I knew the next MPH was only a few hundredths away) In addition, just like the previous Edges, it has no volume control for alerts; your only choices are sound or no sound. Volume control would make it a safer unit, especially if you could turn it up real loud so when my Varia sees a car coming up behind me, I can hear the warning over the wind noise.

Good for cycling

Not so good if you use to follow a circuit because calculations are too slow. I used before 830 and tools little better

Bought it for the battery life & not disappointed
on January 24, 2025

Had another head unit starting with the letter W and although I prefer the workout screens and data layout of that unit, it was only getting 12hr battery life max, so a daily workout for me ran the battery down 40%. With the 1040 same amount of time on a workout burns roughly 5-6% which is a drastic difference that I much prefer.

I really like the 1040 on the bike, I have headlight and rear radar connected really like them the radar is most valuable on the roads, I like the map download and route planning,
I ride road, gravel and mountain

Too bad I can’t make updates
on January 10, 2025
Posted by: DPDenver
I cannot read anything on my phone in the Connect App to make updates any changes because it’s in a foreign language. When I called they said it is a known problem and they will send an update at some point with no time line available. Very disappointing. I can make changes on the Edge but some things you need to do in the Connect App

The best at your finger tips. If that means you're out crushing Strava segments or wanting to cycle through music, the Edge 1040 is a great bike computer. The easy to follow navigation allows me to be confident exploring new areas. This item is great for beginner cyclists and more advanced riders alike. The battery life is great, and pairs awesome with Garmin's power meter pedals and rear Varia radar.
