Not too big
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: Ken A
I was originally worried that this computer would just be too big but now I love it. The touch screen is fantastic though when it's cold and I have fingertip gloves on it doesn't register consistently. I'm better able to read texts without my cheaters.

Awesome Bike Computer
on January 2, 2026
Posted by: Bob25
My Edge 1000 recently broke, so I have been deciding between the 840, 1040 and 1050. The 1040 seemed to be more than adequate for the job. I couldn't see spending the extra cash for the 1050. But is was a tough decision between the 840 and 1040. I think the fact that I owned an Edge 1000 had me leaning more towards the 1040. With black Friday deals and Christmas time deals I had great prices for both the 840 and 1040. In the end I went with the 1040. I have only used the 1040 for MTB so far. It is awesome. Having trail information displayed is a great assist. I will also be using it in the future for triathlon/ironman events as I did with my Edge 1000, I am sure it will prove to be superb for that as well. I am still figuring out some things but that is to be expected. Great unit!

Recently purchased this as I needed a new bike computer. I’ve only been using it a couple of weeks now. So far, I’m very happy with it. The screen is big, clear and easy to adjust.

Should have bought sooner...

I wish I would have upgraded to this earlier. I love the size of the screen and the set options. Easy set up and way more functions than I'll use, but what I have used works perfect.

Easy Set-up

I was able to easily transfer the settings from my Edge 530 unit, strap it onto my bike and I was off with all my sensors connected. The touch screen has had great sensitivity on warm and cold rides

Auto Pause Freezes
on December 8, 2025
Posted by: Ian1732
No problem with first few rides, but yesterday, 30 km into a ride, Garmin 1040 went into pause mode and stopped recording. After about 5 km, I stopped and turned the unit off. When I restarted it, locked into pause mode again. On the third restart, it started recording normally again. This never papered with my Edge 800 or 510. If it happens again, I’m returning it.
