Great piece of hardware. Just wish, for the price, all features work without buying more accessories.

I have been using it for over a month now. It is flawless and has many features I may never use but I’m glad I have them just in case. I clearly see it the screen no matter if it is sunny or not.

Massive upgrade from a 530 and has performed flawlessly. The multi band gps is legit and keeps signal.

Best Edge to Date (1040)
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: Orion12521
I've had Garmin Edge cycling computers dating back to my first, an Edge 305. Since then I've had the 500, 510, 520 and 530 Models. They have gotten progressively better and better. The functionality and user interface of the Edge 1040 is a significant step forward from the previous models that I have used. The touch screen functionality has improved since the last unit I had with that feature, the Edge 510. Setup of the new unit has become a much better experience, transferring many/most of the setting from my previous computer. Battery life is exceptional, pairing with sensors is fast and routing/calculating of routes is also much faster.
No question this is the best Edge cycling computer that I've used to date. Kudos Garmin for continuing to advance the technology, analysis and features packed into your products.

UX Design a complete failure
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: Time4aBetterUXdesign
I ride a lot 18000mi/year, and my 530 and I had ups and downs where the most annoying issue was syncing my long rides. It would take too long, fail sometimes require frequent resetup. So after some debate I decided to upgrade to the new 1040 with the new UX.
Great at first but after riding with it for a week now and about 700mi, I lost already two rides due to dumb button placement on the touchscreen. I do have fat big fingers but I can’t imagine this getting better with gloves in the winter season.
During longer breaks I usually hit stop and turn the garmin off. But turning it back on somehow discarded my ride once.
The second issue is the text message notification window close button popps up (if ride is stopped) directly on top of the Discard button.
After each ride it constantly fails to load the summary page as well, which results in nkt beeing able to look up a new route without starting a new activity first.
Long story short, please improve accidental ride “discards” with a other other button position as well as the “X” for the notifications.
Happy to follow up with details

Garmin 1040 hits the mark perfectly
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Amy L
I received the 1040 and was pleased it came with the out front mount in the box. Easy to assemble and easy to get ready for my first ride with it. I rode a 52 mile route that was modified from ride with GPS due to gravel and bridge out, and it easily rerouted when I was riding to get a good overall ride in. I like how it integrates with other apps and the touchscreen is perfect. Right size for me!
