Good device .. apple health integration is awful

Device is fine. New ui is good. Apple health integration is a complete train wreck. Doesnt properly update hr, bike events, or workouts. Makes a complete mess of your Apple Health data. Garmin shouldnt be able to advertise Apple Health support while this mess is still in place. This is all a result of Garmin’s focus on releasing lots of poorly thought out and executed features instead of a few excellent features that work well! Look out Garmin .. your software and ui/ux failures will be your undoing.

I purchased following a trial of the Karoo 2. I was not in love with the Karoo 2. I immediately fell in love with the 1040. I have a garmin watch so it fits perfectly into my riding and other exercise. I love the training and fitness tracking. I love the guidance. I love the other garmin addons that work with it. The radar and head light are awesome. I ride a lot at night. It's awesome.
I got my new Giant Defy last week. Also the 1040 with the rear light radar device. Love info at my finger tips. Easy to read and adjust. Don’t go home without it.
I recently purchase the Garmin Edge 1040 and have used the device for >12 activities. The simplicity to setup and link to another app is incredibly easy with the included instruction. What I love the BEST is the detailed information, color screen and sleek profile. The mount is included and very solid with no concerns of the Edge 1040 falling. I would absolutely recommend this Edge 1040 it truly amazing.
Very happy with this Garmin. I was debating this one over the solar flavor as I don't expect to out use the 35 hours versus the 45 hours with the solar charging. I can skip a few days of charging with the Non-Solar due to my cycling schedule. I upgraded from the Edge 820 so I really like the screen size and audio directions. I still have not maximized all the features but having fun with the ones I have accessed so far.
