Great cycling computer!
on July 20, 2023
Posted by: Tanner W
After a lot of research I found the 840 to be the best option for me. I didn't care for paying extra for a slightly larger screen and I've heard a few reviews say the 540 was a bit unusual in terms of going through data screens and widgets. The navigation is fantastic and there's so many features that I didn't even know about (it's more fun to find them yourself)! Strongly recommending this to those who are in need of a cycling computer.

Loving Life With The 840!
on June 11, 2023
Posted by: Lori R
from Stirling, NJ, US
Been really excited about the new 840. The GNSS location has been spot on and the navigation works perfectly(especially off road). The ClimbPro allows me to pace myself and attack the hills at the right time without blowing up. My first touch screen experience with sweaty hands has also been great, so happy I upgraded front the 540. The initial screen navigation was not the most intuitive,but watching a setup video would've fixed that. After a couple of rides, I'm extremely comfortable using it. Some customers that are new to Garmin may have trouble with the setup, so we'll have to help in the shop, but once it's set, the battery life, data screens, and navigation will make it a great seller. Wish the non-solar version was a little bit smaller, but not a deal breaker. Two thumbs up!

Overly complicated with unhelpful manual
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: Stones in my shoes
There is no doubt that the edge 840 is feature packed but it is unnecessarily complicated to set up and too prescriptive in terms of defaulting to workouts and performance rather than having those as a choice. Yes there are useful features but basic data should be there out of the box with anything else a matter of choice.

The device crashes
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: crost
When using the map the device crashes, it shuts down and after a while it turns back on. It's very frustrating as this happens almost every time you try to look at the streets around you, making it impossibile to find your curse if you get lost because the device keeps shutting down

Awkward menu layout and altimeter doesn’t work
on May 31, 2025
Posted by: Electricmatt
Overall, this is a good unit. I like the amount of features that it has in the battery life. But I don’t like, is the clumsy/awkward menu layout that takes time to find things. I’ve had this edge 840 for about a month now, and still have trouble navigating certain areas. Today try to do a benefit charity ride in the rain and the altimeter stopped working a few miles in. Not the end of the world as the navigation still worked. But this seems like an issue that should have been fixed in the last version and it’s kind of frustrating when you are trying track stats and plan efforts on climbs. Wish I had known about the altimeter issue before I purchased.

Dodge gradient results
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Rjpgc
Have been using my 840 for many rides. Past few months the gradient display has stopped working. Uphills with negative gradients, downhills otherwise but not all the time. Cannot find a fix.

I would recommend contacting our cycling support team at the following link: http://ms.spr.ly/6428sHNfw
They'll be able to take a closer look into those gradient results for you.
