Insane bike computer, very complete and high quality

- Martijn, 9 August, 2024

Works mega easy, clear navigation, made several rides where I follow a training programme via FONDO on the Garmin Edge and navigate at the same time. In combination with cadence sensor and heart rate monitor a very comprehensive bike computer. Do believe the computer really comes into its own with the cadence sensor and heart rate monitor to get everything out of the computer. For example, your stamina, i.e. the range you achieve at a certain pace combined with heart rate, is incredibly valuable on longer rides, but then the Edge does need that extra data. Battery life is very long. Works super well with my Garmin fenix 7S watch and via Garmin Connect you can easily adjust and regulate everything. Sound of the edge is particularly loud and cannot be changed. However, I also have my iPhone on my racing bike and if Garmin Connect is on in the background on the iPhone, you can adjust the voice navigation and training messages there by turning up or down the sound of your phone... so you can control the beeps and voice messages present that way. The navigation itself is extremely accurate. It also warns of sharp turns or danger on the road. There are numerous workouts and training programmes available for download via Garmin. I still chose to do this via Fondo but this is sent to the Garmin edge at the press of a button. Ease of use really plays a key role with Garmin. The data you want to see while cycling is easy to select and arrange exactly how you want to see it... so with a single swipe you have the screen in front of you what you want to see and you easily swipe through the different screens. In terms of layout, it's mostly uncluttered and simple... exactly what you want from a bike computer... pixel quality of the screen is not necessarily comparable to smartphones but is of fine quality... especially now that the edge 1050 is on the market and the price of the 1040 has dropped I can absolutely recommend it. It's a hefty investment but an excellent addition to any cyclist's bike!

Can be combined with Garmin Watch and smart devices

Navigation poorly visible

- Leo, 2 July, 2024

My old 1030 was getting a bit slow, so I switched to the 1040. Unfortunately, the 1040 has no 3D view when navigating. Only from a view from above. Then you look at a white arrow on a white background. Not clearly visible if you can quickly look at your screen. While it is set to "high contrast ". That's why I returned this 1040. The new 1050 is too expensive for me. I will wait for the Wahoo Elemnt Roam v3.

Pros & Cons

Lots of possibilities
Quick
Navigation unclear

- Job, 14 February, 2024

It was a bit of a hassle to set it up properly and I'm not using everything optimally yet. But I am very happy with it. Routes can easily be put on the navigation from your phone and while cycling you can see the data you want.

Pros & Cons

Ability to load routes via komoot
Clear map
Create your own dashboards
Easy installation of sensors
