The 840 has everything I need for bike packing and more. I seem to find new features everyday

First bike computer. Wanted something for navigation and tracking my mountain biking and didn't want to keep stopping to pull out my phone or mount it to my bars to check Trailforks. Went for the Garmin 840 thinking I wouldn't need a full screen. First impression is this is like going back to Windows 95. The UI and UX are so dated feeling I immediately have buyers remorse. The screen is far too small to be useful for navigating on MTB trails that have multiple close proximity trails and intersections. Resolution is shockingly poor which exacerbates the problem. If this had a screen with the quality of a modern mobile phone, the size wouldn't be an issue. Unless you're wanting all the training data, which I think is way overkill for 98% of the cyclists I ride with, then save your money and by a mount for an older mobile phone and use its built in GPS and Wi-Fi capability.

Great piece of tech

I love this bike computer. I orginally purchased it to train for a bike race. I do NOT ride without it now. I have used the Fenix series of watch for many years but this is so much better for checking out stats and data while riding. I can't say I love the climb pro option. haha Great to know but I mostly do not want to know how much further I have to the top of the mtn. Cheers, buy it, you'll like it!

Touchscreen is an awesome upgrade over the 540. GPS has been great on gravel and navigating back to a course / route. And the screen size is just right.

More than I expected.

I needed a GPS for my bike but this is so much more. The bright display is easy to read when riding for my old eyes. When paired with the Varia radar, it makes riding so much safer. I have a Garmin Fenix watch that I use when riding but the Edge is much easier to see and hear. I like the bar graph for heart rate so I can keep the rate steady.

Bought this to help focus my bike riding. So far it has been excellent. Sometimes the touch screen and buttons are frustrating but that is usually just me rushing to use them.

Shows me everything I need to know and then some, and it's always extremely easy to use compared to some of the other gps units I've used in the past.
