All You Need…to Get Fly
on January 12, 2023
Posted by: Kevin’s Solar Upgrade
I love how easy the device is to set up now. The fact that I can even import my data screen layout and my sensors from my previous Garmin device was fantastic. It imported just about all my previous metrics and I was ready to ride minutes after taking it out of the box. The first thing I noticed about the 1040 was how responsive the touch screen was — it is now super fast and works extremely well even with winter gloves on. The new graphics are easy to read and just as easy to adjust. Haven’t used all the new features yet, but I’ve had it a month and haven’t had to recharge my solar 1040 once. Feels like I’ll never run out of power. Since I had a 1030 Plus, I thought long and hard about upgrading, but now I’m happy I did.

Physio TrueUp not working: Edge 1040 and Fenix 7x
on January 18, 2023
Posted by: student-t
I am happy with the Edge 1040 but there's a large inconvenience in the broken Physio TrueUp between my Edge 1040 and Fenix 7X. The result is that they don't sync with one another, which messes with my training stats on my Fenix 7X. If I run them both then I have 2x the data, which is inconvenient. I hope Garmin fixes this bug in the physio trueup between their newest devices so using it is less of a mess.
I would enjoy this device far more if physio true-up worked.

The solar charging is awesome!!!!
I’ve riden 14 1/2hrs since I bought the 1040 Solar and my battery is at 83%. The font is much easier to read while cycling.
Great computer.

Top Performance

Long time Garmin user. Frustration with inconsistent links to iPhone led me to experiment with Wahoo for the last year. The Wahoo feature set is much smaller but everything works as advertised. Returned to the 1040 Solar recently and have been very pleased. Links to the iPhone are stable, the screen is great and the device is fast. Solar charging is a huge benefit. Loading courses from Strava is easy and navigation on the 1040 works better than Wahoo.
