5.0 out of 5 stars The best cycling computer. Very good battery life.
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023
I've been using Garmin cycling computers for a while and this newest version does not disappoint. It's Garmin's flagship device and it does everything.

The 1040 is a departure with a new OS and a new UI that's familiar yet solves a lot of the problems in the old one.

Battery life is crazy good and most rides only drain the battery 5-10%

Comes with a good mounting kit that's sturdy and looks good.

I have it paired with a speed sensor, cadence sensor, heart rate sensor, DI2 shifter, varia light/radar, and the garmin headlight. Everything syncs up and stays synced without a hitch.

GPS reception is good and stays locked even in thick forest where I've had problems with older units.

The new hill climbing features are awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slim, easy to read
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
This unit fits on top of the Raveman light perfectly giving a clean, modern sleek look to the front of my bike.
Pretty easy to set up. I am not sure Battery life is as stated when set to best position accuracy which was a little disappointing and surprising when it failed on a ride after I didn't recharge overnight. Oh well, changed a setting and recharge ahead of each ride so all good.
The display is really nice, big and very clear. Courses work pretty well once you select the correct course ;) Climb pro is great enabling me to happily huff and puff my way up the hills.
It Syncs immediately with my HR monitor, ROTOR 2InPower power meter, Shimano 8150 groupset, and speed sensor working flawlessly, every time.
Overall happy, but IMO, Garmin SW usability could be improved further. Also, way to many beeps.

If you’re looking for the top end bike computer, this is it. Hammerhead and Wahoo both come close imho, but check out dcrainmaker’s review, I think only if you’re looking for a few niche features should you pick those. The Garmin has a battery that will last for days (literally), and if you ride a few hours a day, you could probably go all week. It has a beautiful, bright display, and if you are having issues with near vision, this will help. The power guide feature new to the 40 series is excellent. I have used course power profiling in the past on other head units through extensions, but having it built in is so much more convenient, it makes it much more usable. Navigation is superb - not substantially different from prior Garmin headunits, but it has a noticeably faster processor, allowing much faster initial route finding (it does provide a few routes, which I think is new, and you choose the one you want), and much faster re-routing if you get off course. I recently did a 50 mile mtb race with it, and loved having the big map with the elevation profile for descents, it lets you really rip where you can, and see the turns and climbs coming up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great replacement for my Garmin 1030
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024
As an ironman athlete, I exercise a lot - typically 12-14 hours a week - and most of it is on the bike. This is a great computer for the bike. I love the Garmin ecosystem, and I connect it into Strava and Training Peaks as well. As a new feature, I parked my bike poorly and it fell over, so the computer sent a Crash Warning to my wife - a nice feature if you ask me. It is easy to set up the data screens to operate just the way I want. I love my 1040.

5.0 out of 5 stars love it!

man, i have used 4 edge now. i love riding my bike. i had like a 530 last with no touch screen. having that is REALLY nice. i did not like my 530 at all. the size as well makes it so easy to read when biking. the 530 had many buttons and i always forgot what they all did. it was very annoying. the 1040 s has only like a couple making it A LOT easier to remember what they do.

garmin really just makes top end stuff. i have a fenix and have had several and several edges. this 1040 will be my last edge for a while.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5.0 out of 5 stars Should you upgrade from a 1030?
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022
I'll preface this review by saying that I am fully bought into the Garmin ecosystem, including an Epix 2 watch, various HRM straps, and a reliance on Connect for most of my performance tracking. I used am Edge 1030 Plus for a year (for both road and mountain riding) before upgrading. I was perfectly happy with the 1030, and really tried to resist the upgrade urge when this unit was released, but I gave in pretty quickly.

Am I happy with my upgrade? Yes, overall, but that stems from the fact that I am a Garmin fanboy and I really wanted a few specific features that Garmin has made clear they will NOT retroactively add to older head units. I find a lot of value in the stamina data fields for long road rides (especially in the Texas heat), but I was most interested in the new UI, including the home screen and the new way that widgets are handled. I find it to be far more usable and informative than the old UI. I'm in my mid-50's and that is why I got the 1030 Plus originally -- screen real estate and readability -- smaller computers are a challenge for my eyes at this point. The redesigned UI really works well for me on that front but, of course, that is purely a subjective matter -- I strongly suggest you take a look at one at your LBS, or watch the excellent DC Rainmaker/GP Lama reviews to determine if you personally find the new UI appealing.

On to the main gimmick of this unit -- solar. Thus far, I am unimpressed, Again, this is a subjective matter in that my rides may bear no resemblance to yours. On a typical summer morning road ride of, say, 25 miles in a mix of suburban tree cover and open sky, I typically generate about 2.5 minutes worth of solar recharge. Not meaningful, for many of my most typical rides. I'll update that if I find a material shift as I start pushing my start-times later in the fall - I imagine it will make a big difference when I ride with the sun directly overhead at noon, rather than at a morning angle. If you're an enduro specialist living in Arizona, you might find it to be much more beneficial, but for my riding style, it is purely a nice-to-have for now. I will say that I have had zero pairing issues with it, and I did have a few with my 1030 Plus - mostly related to my SRAM eTap group set. Everything paired flawlessly out of the box for the 1040, and has been 100% stable thus far -- transferring data from my 1030 Plus was also a breeze.

So, I'm a compulsive upgrader and early adopter, and the improved GPS accuracy, UI, and new data fields make this worth the upgrade for me. I think, though, that for many people with a 1030 or 1030 Plus, you'd be fine (and more economically sensible than me) to skip a generation.
