Garmin Edge 1040

Top device!
Big improvement over my previous Garmin Edge. Fast device with excellent battery life.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
A good accurate top cycling computer
Setup is super fast. The GPS is very accurate. You swipe quickly between pages (compared to the 1030). Costs a bit, of course, but the good battery and accuracy mean you have a hell of a bike computer. I am short of superlatives.

Fast, efficient delivery for France
In the same vein as the 1040, but with better lighting, higher contrast and more advanced analysis functions... improved ergonomics when driving.

Highly recommended!
Just finished a four-day bikepacking event, and the Garmin Edge 1040 was a real buddy along the way. Also, the ease of mapping out a new route via Komoot on the iPhone and then passing it to the 1040 was easy. Once you know what to do, it's easy. During that 4-day, never had to recharge, and when I got home even had 51% left in the tank, which is exceptionally handsome, and reassuring for the Tuscany Trail next week.

An excellent product with a host of technological advances that make it a must-have!
I switched from the Edge 830 to the Edge 1040 for, among other things, better visual comfort (eyesight declines with age). I'm very satisfied with this product, whose sturdiness inspires confidence, with the use of aluminum for the mounting base. Autonomy is up on the previous generation. Practical, robust USB-C connection. I'm also very pleased with the new multi-band GNSS receiver, which provides excellent accuracy in all conditions, especially in undergrowth, which is important.

The best Garmin Edge so far!
That this 1040 is in the premium segment is noticeable in everything. The device feels solid and looks neatly finished. The speed and precision of the navigation are excellent; on the road, the 1040 is easy to operate which, among other things, helps recalculate your route if necessary.

The best bike computer you can buy right now....
Works like a charm, battery I haven't charged all vacation and is still 80%. Integration with Strava top, new routes are immediately on the homescreen. Display is very clear (sharp and good contrast), even with sunglasses. Also the touchscreen works fine, much better than on my old 820. Only downside is that it fits a bit tight on my hidemybell (partly because I don't have an integrated cockpit and the stem+inserts take up some space), making the lower buttons a little harder to reach, but it's still workable.
