An informative tool that enhances any ride!

I purchased this version to replace other devices (3rd patry cycling/fitness apps & multifunction watches) and incorporate its ability to interact with multiple devices.
Instructions & setup was straightforward. Using it was equally simple and it delivers as advertised.

Minor Upgrade w/ Pros and Cons
on September 17, 2023
Posted by: Stryprod
Overall love the additional data collected and the UX is getting better. That said, this thing is less bright than the previous 830.

The Best Cycling Computer!
on September 17, 2023

The Garmin Edge 840 is amazing! The touch screen, accuracy, turn-by-turn guidance, ease of use and more make this the best cycling computer on the market today. My favorite feature is Livetrack that sends notifications to my family while I'm riding. I paired the 840 up with a Garmin Vario radar/light -- this was a huge game-changer, and gives me peace of mind while riding on both city streets and country roads. I highly recommend the Garmin Edge 840.

A good device overall.

Upgraded from my Edge 500 adding color, maps, touch screen and longer battery life. Lots of new metrics to monitor that can be tailored to anyone's training regimen. It's great that you can upload courses then call them up to re-ride at will. Main con is the menu structure. It is too deep and should be documented in a flow chart format to make it easier to learn and less complicated to reach the desired screen. Touch feature is nice but it's almost impossible to modify or find a feature unless you stop your ride to explore the submenus. Would be nice if the display defaulted to the home screen after a non-interactive period of time so you don't get lost in the menus. First ride, I couldn't find the home screen so ended up stopping and starting the ride, splitting the course into 4 separate events. Last ride, I wanted to make the screen brighter and stop the auto-scroll but wouldn't take the chance of losing the ride data again. I'm techy but this will take a while to learn.

Just what I needed. Faster CPU = BIG DIFFERNCE!

I had an 830, which did the job. My biggest issue is that it was often laggy when it came to either tracking your location or updating your course if you went off your pre-planned route. The 840 updates much, much more quickly. The "auto-climb mode" for anything is very nice and immediately amps up any ride. Yeah, and USB-C for the win!

So Amazing!

I live in Atlanta, GA and there are so many great things this Garmin does for me like warns me of busy streets and tells me when I’m approaching big hills or where I am on that hill. The device is super easy to use and the perfect size for me.
