Best Cycle Computer I've Ever Used!
on March 10, 2023
Posted by: Koyote
Thread title says it all, and I've previously used the Edge 530, Wahoo Roam and Bolt, and a couple others. The 1040 has it all: amazing battery life, large and readable screen, tons of configuration options and data metrics, precise routing, etc. It powers up quickly and finds my wireless accessories immediately, locks on to satellites almost instantly, uploads rides quickly, etc. I've had it only a couple weeks, but it's pretty much perfect.
'Course, it's 50% more money than the next-highest priced bike computer on the market, so it should be awesome. And it IS awesome. If you want the best, then bite the bullet, pay the price, and you'll not regret it.

Great computer

Love the large screen, can read it without my glasses. The solar is nice, but semi-gimicky. My 530 kept losing the connection to my ANT+ lights, but they're very solid with this computer. I rarely use the maps/routes, but when I do, it recalculates very quickly if I miss a turn.

Edge 1040 for the Win!

I’ve owned both Wahoo and Garmin products now. Previously the Edge 530 and now the 1040. Garmin’s user interface is by far the best in the industry! The features, screen size, resolution, touch screen response are all top notch! I would highly recommend the 1040 to anyone looking for a new bike computer!!

Super easy to set up (even for me technically challenge). So far so good.

User friendly, enhanced legible screen.

Before purchasing the Edge 1040 I was afforded the opportunity of trying out a friends Edge 1030. First ride I noticed how much easier it was to navigate with the 1030. After doing some additional research I made the decision to purchase the Edge 1040. I've been using the 1040 for about a month for indoor roller rides, outdoor road rides and gravel. The user interface provides for a more intuitive customization process. Connecting to your phone and your sensors and Garmin express seemed much earlier.
I have owned the Edge 530 and 830, and while the units were good for monitoring and recording ride specific details, the Edge 1040 clearly offers a significant number of improvements, enhancements. Setting up activity profiles is a snap. The larger touch sensitive screen enables me to set up Data Screens that are specific to the kind of ride I'm doing, more data with improved legibility. Customization is a very simple process. Navigation, mapping, turn by turn directions capabilities, makes this unit a must for the avid cyclist looking for larger more legible directions.
The Edge 1040 is so feature rich, that I doubt I will utilize all the features. As an example, training, and biometrics capabilities. Nice to know that the Edge 1040 has these capabilities and that if the need to monitor arises, I have the ability to use them.
Bottom line, well worth the investment.
