Garmin Edge 1040
3 / 5
Sufficient quality but too many nonsense features
All in all, this is a device I have been using for 5 months without any problems. The core functions work stably and I have yet to experience any crashes or connectivity issues. What works very nicely is that you can configure your own data screens. Pairing devices works easily and without problems. What can be very frustrating are the numerous nonsense functions, the absolute nadir being the stamina functionality. The various automatic functions to set heart rate and power zones are also best turned off. Detecting maximum heart rate just doesn't work at all. Detecting FTP already works better, but should not be adjusted every time based on a single ride. Without all the fuss, this device could be both less frustrating and cheaper.

Topper for bicycle nerds
Nice device with long battery life and many features. But: Very difficult to get everything out of the device. Menus are inscrutable and you have no idea what all you can and should set.
