Edge 1040 vs 840: You should buy THIS one...

The fact that you gave the answer in the first like minute was great. I liked and subbed cause that was so simple thank you

Devil’s avocet..😂😂😂😂😂 I am stealing this

Thanks for the reviews and videos I am updating from the bolt v2 to the Garmin 1040

entertaining and informative thank you

Q
❤❤❤

Pricing here in Australia is interesting

Interesting that when you buy the solar you get a silicone case but not if you get the normal 1040

What about adding ANT+ devices like AXS, hearthbeat monitor, etc.? What would be the battery life if I pair these Garmin's with a hearthbeat monitor plus my AXS system?

when using all 10 widgets on the screen, one is duplicated "Time of day"... is this normal? Are there (at least) 10 different widgets to choose from? Thanks

Thanks, Excellent presentation!!!

Do you have cover on 1040?

The cost difference really is not that much though

I started with the 1040 solar and realize that it was hard to see on cloudy days with my Oakley Road on. I tried the regular 840 and found it too small for my taste. I went back and got the regular 1040 because it's a bit brighter and easier to see over the 840 and the 1040 solar.

Subscribe for the dry British whit. Staying for the quality reviews. Cheers mate.

you gain a subscriber with your original humor, is very nice to have your content available, comes in very handy

It is soo refreshing to see someone soo effortlessly funny, having a blast reviewing cycling gear! Glad to have people like you in the community :)

Being over 50, I have massive problems reading without reading glasses. I guess that makes the 1040 the preferred choice?

If you don't need all the training bells and whistles you could also go for the Garmin Edge Explore 2. Bigger touch screen than the 840 for a lower price with most of the features. I've had mine for a couple of months and I love it.

Funny and interesting dude, you are… subscribed

Good comparison, thanks. It's too bad Garmin didn't bring larger fonts to the 840 like they did on the 1040...well I suppose they need to give it some edge.

Cant decide between 1030 and 1040 🥲

Leading at 1040

I recently purchased the 1040 solar & love it. At first I thought is it too large but quickly realised its not. It has great font size & so easy to read the display .. especially with my not to great eyesight.

Maybe the 1040 will look less “huge” if installed on the stem of the bike. I’m still debating which one to get :-(

As of today (18th June), the 1040 is on garmin with £50 off at £469 and the 840 is full price at £449. No brainer…..

there were 69 likes and I couldn't let that stand! like 70 was from me :P

I'm struggeling to decide, which device suits me best.
I've got an Epix 2 and am wondering, if there is something in the Edge Computers, what the watch doesn't have?
There is only the bigger display, right?!
But with your recommondation of the 1040, your "answer" is clear - buy a additional device for cycling and use the watch for everything else, right?!

How accurate are these air strikes?

840 vs bolt2

Entertaining and informative as ever. Will the 830 get the new climb pro stuff in a software update? I'm in the market and can't decide if 840 is worth the extra cash over the 830...

All good but where’s mine Monty? 😀
