I purchased the 1040 to replace my Garmin 1030 as it is suppose to have a longer battery life. I haven't had it long enough to test this feature. The screen is bright and easy to read. As with any new electronic product I am still learning how to use all the features it has to offer. It has far more bells and whistles then I actually need.
This is the definition of a "flagship" model. It has a ton of function. It connects to meters easily. The mapping and routing are very very good. It is easy to read in a variety of conditions. The Garmin ecosystem is an industry standard. The battery lasts a long time. It's expensive!
I depended on my Edge 1030. Then I broke it. Purely pilot error. The 1040 is the replacement. Way more battery capacity. Better graphics and user interface. New features I didn't expect -- like stamina and power guide -- are useful additions. Almost glad I broke the 1030!
I haven't used a cycling computer in years and I can't believe how good they are now. Screen is bright, big and easy to read. Super accurate data and much more functionality than I'll ever use. Love it!
This is a much improved bike computer. It is easy to read and battery lasts a long time. The only downside is the gradient calculation. It has a significant lag. This needs to be improved by Garmin.
I have been riding with a Garmin Edge, which is bullet proof. It's never gave me any problem or reason to upgrade. Finally there is a new Edge to upgrade to. The screen is so much brighter and easier to read that the 1000. The touch screen is flawless and the buttons underneath make more space. The battery life is awesome.
moved up from a wahoo bolt and it cant be overstated how big of an upgrade this thing is...the screen is huge, easy to read and all the data you could ever want to see. love how the live segments work with strava and that it can actually do route finding unlike the bolt. battery seems like it could easily do 10 hours. integrates really well with varia radar unit as well
Excellent upgrade from my Garmin Edge 800.
Love all the additional features
Excellent upgrade. Easy to use. Great features
Like the size, fit. Only thing is was hard to exit from the app
Big easy to read screen and a fabulous battery
I love this device. It is just superior to my Garmin edge 1030. It runs much faster. I love the music control. I love the stamina gauge. I should've bought this when it first came out.
Fantastic touchscreen and great battery life
I love this garman gat the radar with much safer than a mirror or turning your head around
