Edge 840 Review
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: Taco
I upgraded from the Edge 830 about two weeks ago. Overall, very happy with my decision and the 840 has performed very well. The 840 is the same length a just a bit wider than my 830, I chose the non-solar version since battery life is never an issue for me. There are more side buttons on the 840 so you're not reliant on the touch screen although it does have one. Rain rides will be much less frustrating. The software is much better, new home screen with more info, took a bit to get use to but once you do you'll probably love it. GPS accuracy is better, a few minor glitches on my 79 mile race this weekend but the 840 quickly recovered and "found itself", big improvement over the 830 on the same course. Love having maps for Europe pre-loaded and easily switchable, once again way better than the 830. Numerous new features, look ahead on climbs even without a pre-loaded course, computed power plan for a race or pre-loaded course. The Garmin Connect app + all of my bluetooth devices easily paired with the 840. Basically the 840 addressed all of the issues I had with the 830 and added some really useful software upgrades. If you're looking to upgrade or just getting into racing I would highly recommend this unit.

Great bike bit of tech

I've used a Fenix watch for years and this is very nice to see stats while on the bike. I love the tracking, live heart rate, and all other details on the screen. The climb pro works darn good as well.

Powerful Bike Computer w/ tons of options
on May 3, 2024

The touch screen is excellent to navigate through the many options even in wet conditions and the side buttons help when wearing gloves. Once you learn where everything is, you can tailor it to what works best for you. Battery lasts a long time and return to starting point as direct route is such a great feature when your exploring new trails and ready to call it a day and grab a refreshing beverage.

It's just okay

I have a Wahoo Elemnt that I like, but purchased the Edge 840 because it has the ability to read my Dexcom glucose monitor. So far I'm not impressed with the Edge. I find the user interface to be clunky and not very intuitive, the touch screen is also problematic. I'm disappointed, compared to the Wahoo the Wahoo wins hands down but I'll keep workting with the Edge because of the interface with my CGM.

All good

It tracks my rides and appears to be extremely accurate. I don't use any of the training functions at this time as much of it is new to me. It was easy to pair with my phone and heart rate monitor. That said: the owners manual provided is basically worthless.
