Frustrating with learning the features
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: TS29
Complicated in setting up and understanding the features, as this is the first time I’ve purchased a Garmin device. Don’t think the company has done a very good job at the tutorials to teach newbies

Love the display and its feathers.

I brought this Edge two weeks ago and I’m still learning more about its excellent feathers and its uses. The metrics are easy to understand and very helpful for a riders who uses HR Monitor and Power. I switch from the Wahoo Roam because I love the fact it has longer battery life and its Solar application in regards to charging on the go, while riding. Hands down great CPU for cycling , love it.

Great new interface and higher resolution screen
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: QuadMark
I had a 1030 that I thought was great, but the 1040 Solar is even better. The new user interface on the 1040 just works - much easier to go through menus. The screen resolution is great and love the USB-C charging port. All in all this is a great upgrade to an an already great device.

First bike computer
on December 24, 2022

First bike computer it’s great I was worried it would be to confusing to use but from the first ride it pretty much did everything I needed for me. Still learning all the features. Get the radar tail light to go with it also great to know people are coming from behind.

Solar Power really Works
on December 29, 2022
Posted by: Beer league DJ
I’ve logged about 100 miles so far with my 1040 Solar and my skepticism has been vanquished. I haven’t plugged it in to charge yet! Now I do ride in California BUT It is winter! So I can’t imagine that I’m getting optimal solar exposure so I expect even better performance after spring arrives. I upgraded from an Edge 1000 that I have used for years. The Edge 1040 Solar graphics are much clearer for this old man to read the mount is better the usb C is better my experience it’s that it’s just better all around.

Replaced my Edge 1030 with the 1040 solar. Synchs much better and simple to set up. Love the display and ease of changing display. So far very pleased.
