I bought my new Edge 1040 a month ago and have been very pleased with it. Lots of new features from my old edge1000 and the battery life is much better.
Just got this and did an initial setup, realized there’s a bug on the emergency contact display, there’s no back option once you get to that screen, surprisingly annoying tbh.

I have been using a 530 and Edge Explore. The 1040 is much more device in form, performance and function than either of those individually or combined. I am learning and seeing new ways to utilize this nearly every time I ride. Access to the features is simple through the touch screen and it is by far the best Garmin interface that I have used and Connect easily folds the 1040 into my existing Garmin stable of products. It is expensive no doubt, but no more so than the other cycling baubles that we collect.
Love the battery life, scree size, clarity and speed of the unit. My only gripe would be a larger thicker more prominent route line when following a course. Just like the Karoo2. Add that and it's 10/10 or 5 stars.
I had the 1030 and 1030+ before. Between the two there is no big difference. But there is in comparison to the 1040. I always had issues with SRAM and Garmin accessory connectivity. That is now over. I like the battery status update at the end of the ride. The only issue I have is with the screen brightness. The 1040 is borderline. The solar would be too dark for me. Not readable through sunglasses. All together if you a lot of electronic accessories the 1040 is a must.
