Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

  • 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.
  • 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.

Strange that this is not mentioned anywhere in the product description.

- Rob 8 April 2026

Below is a piece of text (page 63 of the manual. Your device is displayed in This PC on Windows® computers as a removable drive. Because Mac® operating systems have limited support for MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode for file transfer, you must use the Garmin Express™ application to transfer your device on a Mac.

Pros & Cons

Almost what I am used to from Garmin
Difficult to operate due to the above.
Memory could be larger, full by included maps
No longer compatible with Mac OS

lots of frustration!

- Cecile 8 March 2026

The Garmin edge 1040 in my possession for over a week now. A very complicated device for me. I had to puzzle it out and not everything worked out yet. I phoned customer service to be allowed to return the device, but once I have used it, that is no longer allowed. It doesn't make me very happy yet. Hopefully that will come!

Huge value for money, now that it has become much cheaper

- Marco 25 January 2026

Very happy with my first bike computer. It is now much cheaper than the newer model and even cheaper than the latest models with smaller screen. I chose this one mainly because the battery life is much better than, for example, the new Edge 850 and it also has a much larger screen. This also makes the screen super easy to read and the touch screen controls also work very nicely with gloves.

Pros & Cons

Huge battery life (much longer than its successor
Links with Di2, heart rate, cadence/speed etc
Nice big screen with many fields
Touchscreen operable with all gloves
No
