Worth the upgrade

Huge step up from my Edge 520. The touchscreen is accurate even with wet hands. So many display configurations to fit your needs and an easy swipe to next display. Map is large enough to read safely while riding.

Good bike computer, much like my 1030 Plus

Some of the banners are hard to read and it keeps dropping the connection to various sensors, like speed, cadence, HRM, power. But they reconnect after a few seconds.

My Garmin Edge 1040
on June 20, 2024
Posted by: jwpoole13
I ride with my Garmin Edge 1040 3 times a week for about 60 miles. It is great for tracking my performance stats, like personal records. It is coupled with my Garmin Varia RCT715 Radar which warns me about the traffic behind.

Great Choices - Got the 1040 & Varia Radar
on June 20, 2024
Posted by: JeffC
I bought my 1040 about a month and have used it on approximately 6 short rides around the neighborhood and at a nearby forest preserve. I am extremely happy that I chose the larger screen and didn't get the 840. I'm a purely recreational cyclist, so I really don't need all the training features of the 1040, but I wanted to get the Varia Bike Radar and wanted the largest screen available. Both the 1040 and the Varia have been amazing. The Varia picks up an approaching car 350+ feet behind me. The warning beep from the 1040 is sufficiently loud that I hear it, even if it is windy. The 1040 display clearly shows any approaching vehicles (cars, trucks, bikes, etc.) I won't ride without it. I watched a number of YouTube videos (DCRainmaker, GPLama, etc.) before deciding on the 1040. GPLama has several excellent videos on how to setup the 1040 and has recommendations on several IQ datafields to install to enhance the capabilities.

Great Screen, Great Features, Great Battery
on August 8, 2024

My Garmin cycling computer progression has gone from Edge 130, Edge 530, Edge 830, and finally Edge 1040.
Obviously the 1040 is better in every aspect, but I have been blown away by how much I appreciate having a larger screen and extra battery life. I did a 12hr ride and still had over 75% battery left. The bigger screen makes for easier reading while on the bike. The gps is better than the 830. With the 830 I would always lose signal going thru a tunnel (which would stop tracking the segment). I do not have this problem with the 1040.
The additional information the 1040 tells me after a ride in the summary is fun (e.g estimated sweat loss, shifts, detailed power info).
If you’re coming from an older Edge model, consider the 1040 a good upgrade if you can find it for a decent price. Is it going to make you faster? No. But if you’re like me and you spend many hours on your bike, the bigger screen, additional information, and updated UI is a well worth upgrade.

Alta precisión, muy buena batería
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: ElGiovas
Ya hice un par de salidas tanto en road como en mountain, muy buena información de desempeño fisico y sobre el terreno.
Todavía no pude explorar los mapas y las rutas pre mapeadas. Pero no creo que sea dificil.. La bateria dura muchisimo, estaba en dudas si compraba el solar o el regular, y me parece que hice una buena opción en comprar el último.
La experiencia de pairing con reloj, garmin connect y con la e bike fue muy buena, y amigable.
