Big improvement over Edge 830
on March 17, 2024
Posted by: Brian84
I dropped my Edge 830. The display no longer worked and replaced it with and Edge 840. The improved useability compared to the 830 is much great than I expected. I prefer using the physical buttons much more than the touchscreen while I am riding, however having the touch screen in addition to the buttons makes navigating the menus much easier and convenient before and after the rides.

Love the touchscreen

I bought the Garmin Edge 840 to replace my previous Garmin. The touchscreen is the best feature. No need to press all the buttons to get what you need for your ride. The device is slightly larger than the Edge 530 which makes the screen just a bit bigger so it’s easier to see.I am very pleased with my purchase and I also bought the silicone protective cover for it. Buy this Garmin!

Feature rich / Good build quality
on March 20, 2024

Have had many bike and watch devices. For the bike the 840 is the best and I've tried several of the Garmin competitors. The one feature that I (and many others) have requested that I wish was implemented is Segment Power. Same concept as lap power but for segments.

Too hard to set up and use
on March 22, 2024
Posted by: Mailman
Just too complicated and too much unnecessary information for someone who just wants basic information. Constantly having to reconnect to sensors and the Baria lights and radar. Wish you still offered the 520 plus. Am selling this unit and getting the 130 plus as it appears to fit my needs better. Still quality products.

The 840 is great but
on March 23, 2024
Posted by: NPLUCAS
Through out my ride it’s dropping the speed and cadence sensors and then reconnecting. I would have also thought that it’d be quicker than my 1030, like a better processor

Edge 840. Never looking back!
on March 26, 2024

I updated this from the aged 510. I connected my back radar light and was amazed at how the light turns on and off with the start and stop of the ride automatically…game changer! Another great product from Garmin

Slightly Disappointed
on March 31, 2024
Posted by: Martin9999
If I didnt own a Fenix 7X i would excited to use the 840 features more. I almost always toss the activities recorded on it because Im recording on my watch. I use the extended display feature but I wish I could also navigate when using ExDisplay.

Edge 840 is awesome
on April 3, 2024

I previously owned a Edge 820, the new Edge 840 is so much faster and better when compared to the 820. And battery life is very much improved.
