GarminGarmin Edge 840, Compact GPS Cycling Computer with Touchscreen and Buttons, Targeted Adaptive Coaching, Advanced Navigation and More

Edge 840 is very easy to setup, has a great battery live and very responsive screen.

I have been using Garmin computers forever. This generation is improved with the latest technology, only some of which I routinely use. But I like the volume of information it provides. I thought I would not like the touch screen, but I was wrong. I also have a Garmin 1040, but it is too large to fit well on some of my bikes. This one is easier to mount as it winds up sideways. Still easy to view.

I have been a Garmin user for many years. I love all their products. I have watched as their products have become more reliable and user-friendly. The Edge 840 is the latest, and in my opinion, the best of their head units. Everything works and works well. The wireless sensors, the rear radar unit, the front headlight, the HR monitor—they all work great together.Syncing up all the various components and sensors is seamless and works right, every time. As a bonus I can sync up my Dexcom G7 CGM and get instant glucose readings during my bike rides—no more fear of bonking during a long ride. The touch screen works great, not even raindrops, or perspiration, affects the display. The 840, unlike the 830, also has buttons which work effectively and quickly. The new GPS chip is far more accurate than in the past. The Climb Pro feature is awesome. The 840 has far more features that I could ever hope to use, but the features that I do use work exceedingly well.If you are deciding between the 840 and the 540, I would recommend the 840.

How I love Garmin.Like Apple once you get one you will eventually want them all.Like a demanding wife who wants more jewelry Garmin has me buying the whole ecosystem. Don’t buy this unless you plan to buy a heart rate strap, a radar light, power pedals, a watch, an emergency radio, and a trainer.This thing works great most of the time and honestly can’t believe I biked for 2 years without it. Garmin knows how to make the battery last forever and it’s been easy to use.

I loved my Garmin 830 until it was stolen. However, that was motivation to try the Garmin 840--which has touch screen functionality AND button functions. That is a game changer. There are also more useful (not just more for more) features and is easier to read. The one thing that Garmin got wrong (relative to the 830 interface) is a "Profile" requires all kinds of shenanigans to rename/re-label, while the 830 was much easier to add multiple bikes with individual names.

As complez as it is to me is a challange to manuver this device, is tgere a way that I could rxchange it for one easier to handle ?

Amazing product, thinking about getting a Garmin watch to track more fitness goals. The maps are reliable easy to use awesome screen size with easy navigation and mounting it on the bikes cockpit was a breeze.

I’m really glad I purchased this. It exceeds all my expectations. After reading the reviews and watching videos, I nearly passed on the upgraded model with solar. I splurged as I’m a sucker for all things solar. I’m actually blown away that I’m getting 20% battery return in high sun environments. I had over 17.1% (20 min) gain on an almost 2 hour ride with sun and lots of shade from trees. The battery lasts for a LONG time. I would like to be able to do more in the app to customize screens, etc. The touch screen works really well and there are buttons for all actions if needed because of gloves, etc. I had a bit of an issue with loading the USA maps on it at first and had to finagle things a bit. Typical Garmin issues. Overall, a great product and was the sweet spot for me with all the options available. What a great buy. I’m very happy.
