Better than competitor’s top product

I like this more than the main competitor’s top product. It’s easier to use and the battery lasts longer. That being said the battery life is not as good as I was hoping.

Great device!

I had the 1030 Edge and have seen a remarkable improvement in the 1040. I love the solar feature and also love the climb app that shows how far I have to go and the steepness of the upcoming sections.

1040

Overall, I like the 1040. Having a completely different look than the 1000 has required a lengthy learning curve.

Almost limited battery life. Large screen. Fast

I've ridden with the Edge 1040 Solar for about 200 miles and so far, the experience is stellar. This replaces my Edge 830 so it's quite an upgrade.
Pros:
- Battery for days (est 45 hours)
- Large screen with redesigned menus (much better)
- Great integration with other Garmin and third party devices, radar, lights, power pedals, HRM
- USB C charging (FINALLY!)
- Increased storage from 32GB to 64GB for Solar
- Garmin Connect IQ app on the device
- Suggested training for particular events
Cons
- Pricey
- Removed Varia Vision support (the mini-HUD eye thingy which wasn't popular)

Better than expected.

Took a big leap from a 530 to this 1040 solar. I don't regret the price paid for it. It is all worth it. From extended battery life due to solar charging to touch screen and everything in between. All percect.
