Upgrading my old 1030 to the new 1040
I really enjoyed the ease of replacing my old 1030 to the newer 1040. Most of the features were the same. Overall the device was very user friendly and controls intuitive/instinctive. I did experience an issue with the lap counter and start/stop buttons on the 1040. However I soon realized it was a user error and not a problem with the device. I am very happy with the purchase. I would like to thank Jason again for explaining the errors on my old 1030 along with his advice to upgrade to the 1040.

Still under review
Replaced my 1030 and am still learning the differences. This unit does not connect with my DUB like my old unit did, not sure where the disconnect lies. The screen that is integrated with Training Peaks workouts is different and I do not like it as much but, there may be an identical screen which I have not found yet. Other then those 2 issues, I love it.

not up to seed with capabilities
Still learning the process of using the Edge but look foward to mastering it.

Much improved from the 1030
I am most happy with the improved touch screen visibility and responsiveness. It was definitely time for an upgrade.

Fantastic bicycle computer!
I love this bicycle computer. I am a cyclist of decades. Having a bicycle computer makes things interesting. In my opinion, they are an essential complement if you are really into the sport. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 810. It was a huge jump in many regards. The screen is brighter, the navigation is better, the battery life is plenty for my needs, it has functionality galore. You can pair it with websites like Strava for further analysis of your activity. I love this gadget because it makes my ride more interesting and helps me stay focused when I am out there. The only take away is that it is a bit pricey. I was lucky to find it at a good price. I plan on using it for years, so the investment was worth it. Finally, I would recommend buying a silicone case to protect it in the event that you drop it by accident. As a bonus, if you have a credit card that has a free extended warranty option, definitely go that route like I did.

Features are a little confusing
I think the user interface could be more user friendly. Admittedly I’m almost 70 years old but I consider myself fairly savvy with technology. I prefer pull down menus.

Good unit, still needs work.
Overall, this unit performs well, but it lacks compatibility with its watch counterparts and the true-up function, which leads to inaccurate data when used with Garmin Connect.

Great Unit-Could Have Been Better
I like the large screen that provides enough room to have several data boxes without making the data so small that I can't see it. I like that it shows average speed in tenths and hundredths when it is paused, but I would like it so much more if it would display the hundredths on the average speed data box while I am riding. (I feel I would push myself harder if I knew the next MPH was only a few hundredths away) In addition, just like the previous Edges, it has no volume control for alerts; your only choices are sound or no sound. Volume control would make it a safer unit, especially if you could turn it up real loud so when my Varia sees a car coming up behind me, I can hear the warning over the wind noise.

Good for cycling
Not so good if you use to follow a circuit because calculations are too slow. I used before 830 and tools little better
