Great GPS and functions
on November 28, 2023

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.

This has been useful for the initial purpose I wanted it for - to track my speed, vertical and time. It's also been helpful with saving some routes I have ridden.
It did take me a bit to figure out how to start recording a trip and I feel like there's a lot of features that I haven't taken advantage of yet. So in my opinion, it's not the most intuitive but that may be a me problem. Looking forward to doing some more reading up on it so I can take advantage of the other features.

It's easy to use easy to set up and does way more than I need it to... it easily sinked to my strava app

Amazing Battery life in a small package

Purchased this 840 for an 8 day endurance race this past summer and it performed well. I got just over 24 hours on each charge and the rate at which the battery filled up was awesome. The form factor is great and the touch screen is a must have (the button layout can be confusing at times). 32g of storage gives you enough room to have base maps for about 1 continent plus your loaded routes and you can choose which global regions you'd like for free on Garmin express.

Needs some bug fixes
on November 16, 2023

Overall, I really enjoy having this Garmin. When it works correctly it is great. I love seeing how much I have left in a climb and courses work well. The problems I have seem to be common, often it will freeze when syncing and more annoyingly my workout won't show up on the Edge. Today I had to go into the calendar and select a day that happened to have the same workout because no matter how I tried, I couldn't get it to show up for today even though it showed on my app and desktop.
Another great thing is it will reroute a course on the fly, helpful when a road is closed or impassable. Though I did have it say the device was full on my last long ride and couldn't reroute after that.

After a bit of trial and error, I found the unit easy to use and really appreciate the feedback it gives, especially the live segment feature.

After losing my Garmin 1040 while travelling I wanted a replacement and decided to go a size down. It fits better on the MTB and gives me most of the screen size of the larger device in what feels like the 'right sized' package. Great functionality, excellent battery life. Just works!
