I was concerned about connecting all my sensors on my bike and body and this thing picked them up automatically, which made this an extremely easy addition to my racing kit. Also the display of the information is vibrant and easily readable when on the edge of performance. This is the pinnacle of bike computers.
I’ve used my new Edge 840 for enough rides to get a feel for it and I’m still unable to. The map hasn’t worked well and the climb notification is nearly impossible to find, even when I’m in the midst of a climb. My buddy has a Karoo that seems much easier to manage.
The Garmin 840 is the best bike computer I've had. I previously owned the 1030 which lost GPS a great deal. The weight of the 1030 was also a downfall with the plastic locking tabs. The 840 has a good size to weight ratio and all the functions that you need. I like that I can use buttons to select options or use a touchscreen. The GPS on the 840 is very accurate and I've taken it on some very dense secluded gravel rides. I would definitely recommend.
I have used my Garmin 840 a number of times on rides. The features and connectivity to my watch, radar and other seniors are great. Added features to warn me of traffic, turns and climbs is fantastic. Great addition to my riding.
I purchased this about a month ago and my favorite feature is that it is simple to use. It automatically integrates with the garmin radar and keeps track of battery life of everything. I have not used all of the options due to my own issues but expect to within the next month.
I bought this 2 months ago as an upgrade to my Garmin Edge 510. I really like the combination of buttons and touch screens. I was excited to get to my first climb to try out the Climbpro but was quickly disappointed as I can not read the numbers on the screen: Avg gradient, length of the climb and total feet of climbing. Those 3 critical data points are the smallest on the screen. My suggestion would be to get rid of the map and use that extra real estate to enlarge the numbers and provide choices as to what goes where. I am really hoping Garmin gives this flexibility with an upgrade soon.
