According to the product specialist
Pros
| Ride even longer routes thanks to the battery that lasts up to 26 hours when used intensively (and up to 42 hours in battery saver mode). |
| New multi-band satellite technology ensures the best GPS reception even in densely wooded or built-up urban areas. |
| The Edge 840 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time, training load and physical response to training. |
| With its daily suggested workouts, you'll receive personalised coaching that adapts to your current training load, recovery and events. |
| The Edge 840's internal memory is twice as large as that of the Edge 540 and has maps of Western and Central Europe as well as of Eastern Europe and North America. |
| Special e-bike features on your cycle computer. |
| The ClimbPro feature displays which climbs lie ahead with information about length, gradient and duration. |
| When connected to an e-Bike that is compatible with ANT+® technology, you receive navigation guidance and alerts based on the battery status, assistance level and range. |
| Up to 16 hours of battery life, even in high-demand use. |
| Impressive battery life of up to 35 hours when used intensively (or up to 70 hours in battery saver mode). |
| New multi-band satellite technology for the best GPS reception, even when cycling in dense forest or in the busy city. |
| The Edge 1040 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time and training load, and you'll learn how your body responds to training. |
| Ride even longer routes thanks to the battery that lasts up to 32 hours in intense mode (and up to 60 hours in battery saver mode). |
| The battery is charged as you ride by the solar panel in the screen, adding up to 25 minutes of battery life per hour during daytime cycling in direct sunlight. |
| The Edge 840 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time, training load and physical response to training. |
| With daily suggested workouts, you receive personalised coaching that adapts to your current training load, recovery and events. |

Cons
| You'll have to bring a mobile phone in order to use the livetrack functionalities. |
| The 840 has a shorter battery life than the Garmin Edge 840 Solar. |
| For the live-track functions, a mobile phone is required. |
| The Edge Explore 2 is not compatible with the Power mount. Only the Edge Explore 2 Power can be connected to the Power mount. |
| Despite its clear legibility, the Edge 1040 is on the large side for a bike computer. |
| The Garmin Edge 1040's battery life is shorter than that of the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar. |
| To be able to use the livetrack functions you need to carry a cell phone. |
