I wanted a garmin for the added training insights over a wahoo, plus needed the larger screen size to aid reading prompts during a ride. I was nervous of returning to a touch screen garmin after previous poor experience (screen locking up at the first sign of rain).

Great features and lots of data (if that’s your thing). Nice, big screen with clear mapping. A huge upgrade from my old Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt and totally justified purchase at the reduced price. Would be 5 stars if it were slightly more intuitive to use and setup, and had OS maps for gravel/MTB.

Nice screen size, good battery life and great stats but map could be better. Easy to fit to my MTB and gravel bike with the included mounts. Having been using Komoot on my iPhone for navigation I'll look at using Komoot on the Garmin to provide cleaer guidance.

I thought a lot about upgrading to the Garmin Edge 1040 from my 520, but I am very glad I did. The new features are brilliant, particularly the options on the data screens, the additional metrics, and the awesome battery life. I am giving it a fall test on a Sportive tomorrow.

I've a Garmin watch so set up and linking with the app was simple, therefore some familiarity in set up. Battery life is excellent even without battery saving, integration with di2 and an HRM is simple. I've made use of the app and Strava to download routes and the navigation has worked very well.

Like any new toy it takes while to learn what’s where. I love mine and would not want to be without it. I’ve configured it with “ride with gps”. It’s a perfect app for it. I’ve used mine in the rain with no problems and as for the battery life, it goes on for days.

Upgraded from a 530 and really impressed with it. Was worried that I wouldn’t like the large screen but I’m now a huge fan. Happy with the ease of use and the touch screen has worked seamlessly although on nice sunny rides. Overall I’m very impressed.

First impressions are good, easy to sync with PC and phone clear instructions. A larger screen that I have been used to which is nice, easily scrolls through the various screens. Very pleased with this garmin.

Excellent unit with a nice, large screen. Buttons would definitely improve it for using with gloves which are somewhat hit and miss. It would also be nice if it came with the mtb adapter rather than out front.

Found easy to sinc to phone and computer. Nice big screen easy to read when cycling. Touch screen makes changing pages easy. Still trying to navigate them all. Pleased with my purchase
