Got this for long rides so I don't have to rely on the battery life of a watch or phone. Great battery life. Screen is plenty big for me. Easy to load routes. Touch screen allows you to zoom in/out easily while riding. The colors on any of the map settings are hard to see though. It's difficult to distinguish route from background. Also you can't turn the screen off, which can be distracting.

Solid GPS

This is an upgrade coming from a Wahoo, with good customization in the app or on the unit itself. The app takes some time to learn to navigate, but once you do it's easy. The one thing holding it back from 5 stars is the lack of customization on the map screen. Would love to be able to see the map and my power guide at the same time.

I have used Garmin products, such as smartwatches and cycling computers, for over four years now. After using my Garmin 840, all I can say is that I am impressed. One feature that I really enjoyed, compared to my old Garmin computer, is the music control screen that allows the user to change songs and control the volume. I also enjoy the customization available on different riding profiles, such as mountain biking and road biking. Overall, it is a great product for both entry-level and experienced riders.

This has been a great bike computer and I haven't even dived in to all the features yet. Easy to set up and use, and easy to turn off all the beeping.

Upgraded from the Edge 130.
Huge jump from 130, I'm talking going from riding a scooter, to jumping on ZX-6R (if not familiar with motorcycles it's really really powerful)
Practically a smart phone on your bike. Actually, it almost completely eliminates the need for to have a phone on you, other than a phones primary function as a communication device.
UI is a bit finicky with the touch screen, however it's intuitive and bright enough to be viewed across any conditions without ruining the battery life. Which is good, but could be better. I'd opt for the solar option if making the decision again.

The 840 is an amazing upgrade!

Garmin still has the problem of either wanting to interact more than it should or being to complex at very very simple things. Overall great upgrade from my previous Edge 530
