Garmin Edge 1040 Solar GPS Bike Computer | 2022 Cycling GPS Computer with VO2 Max, Maps, & Multi-GNSS | Cycle Bundle with PlayBetter Tempered Glass Screen, Black Case & MTB Mounts

I love it

I was hoping that my first head unit purchase, after using my phone for years, would be the upgrade I needed for better battery life and rain protection. Well this product succeeds with those features; however there is a widely publicized flaw I missed--the mounting plate that attaches the unit to the mount is weak and fails.

cumple con mis expectativas!

Working as planned

Well, this is a fantastic device, in theory.

The touch screen is huge and excellent. Very easy to customize to view multiple desired metrics during a ride. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 510 so this is a big leap up in capabilities. Was going to get an Edge 520 but the 1030 was selling for a $200 discount. Have read that the 520 is just as good. Would have given the 1030 5 stars all around, but within two months the battery started behaving oddly - went from 70+% to zero overnight. Couldn’t get it to start so had to do a full reboot at which point it suddenly showed 20% power. We will see if it is happy or if it continues.

The Best! Highly Recommend for any and all Cyclist

I bought this to replace my 310XT which has always worked well but I really wanted a map and turn by turn nav. I am only about 1 week in with the device about 7 rides but I think I now have a pretty good handle on it:

The ONE JOB it had, sync routes from Strava. After fighting with it to sync with my computer; fighting with it and Garmin Express to update the firmware; it STILL doesnt do the job. This is my third Garmin computer. Garmin Express has always sucked, still does. Garmin Connect has always sucked, still does. Thats why its connected to Strava becasue no one wants to use Garmins crappy apps. But the devices WERE great until just now. I am returning this piece of trash and switching to Wahoo.

The product is amazing, however, its suport to tie in the bike it is really weak and has all possibility of that you loose your device.
