easily transferred data from Edge 1030. Solar works great. Only drawback is the brightness of the display. Sometimes very hard to see.
Reliable and easy to use

Reliable and easy to use. Don’t leave on your back bumper or place on a tire after a ride though… I’m on my third. Still won’t get anything else though!

There is alot packed into the 1040 solar that will take a new user awhile to figure out. Read the manual! I know it is new and you want to check it out. But, read the manual. Then watch YouTube videos on tips and customization ideas from Pro riders. Then setup and enjoy! One final note, get a Garmin Varia it will save your life if you ride on the streets anywhere. It alerts you early enough to at least look behind you or to get out of the way of people who dont understand the 3 foot law.
Excellent Battery Life

Has most of Garmin’s features (Edge 1050 has more but nothing I need) are outstanding. Not difficult to program data points on unit, if not, use Garmin Connect app on iPhone. Love the Varia interface for enhanced safety. Solar allows me to go on extended rides without being concerned.

Great battery life and solar charging works well! The screen appears comically huge compared to my previous 830, but it's very nice and you quickly get used to either more data, or much larger numbers depending on your data preferences.
Brilliant screen, but less stable

This replaced my older 530 that was 100% stable and reliable but its screen started to peel off. The 1040 screen is brilliant and easy to see at all lighting conditions. However, it is not as stable and got stuck and required hard reset multiple times causing me to loose ride recordings. For me, this is a great disappointment.
Worked great for a while

The computer was flawless for a few months. Now I’m have issues with it trying to switch to a different version of my power meter before I ride. It doesn’t turn on right away when I try to turn it on. Sometimes it takes about 5 mins of trying to get it to turn on. It’s really been frustrating lately. I have been mostly using my older wahoo model in place of it, because it’s been so finicky.
Horrible software

The Garmin bike computer software is unintuirive, buggy, very difficult to use. I bought the extra battery it mount on. Unfortunately the battery and bike computer use different charge plugs. Basically poorly thought out design and implementation. I wish I had bought a Wahoo instead.
Love it!!

I purchased my Edge 1040 Solar to replace my Garmin edge 530 that I had for years. I love all the options, how easy it is to use and change the data screens, and the solar charging is a plus.

While in heavy pursuit by feral ranch chihuahuas on the gravel roads of Oklahoma you’ll never make a wrong turn with the edge. It also sucks up the sun on the treeless roads to last longer than you can.

Garmin 1040 does everything Garmin promised. The controls are not completely intuitive but not too dig ft oily to figure out. Solar charging and battery life has exceeded my expectations on how long this thing can go between plugging in to recharge.
It works

I am enjoying the Edge 1040 Solar. The interfacing apps work (TyreWiz, My Bike Radar). It has been connecting to phone, apps and sensors flawlessly thus far.

I don't usually rave about cycling products, but Garmin really has got this market sector nailed w/ their bike computers. I love everything about their Edge computers - especially the battery life and massive screen. I can fit darn near every metric I care about on one screen, so I'm not swiping around to get the data I want. If you're looking for a large screen with amazing battery life, this bike computer is for you.
Contrast

Overall, I am pleased with this device. One notable improvement would be to refine the contrast of routes when the screen is set to auto adjust brightness. Perhaps bold segmented lines would show up better than washed out arrows over a washed out route color? This issue is unavoidable on sunny days when attempting to prolong battery life.
Not what I expected

I bought the edge 1040 solar four months ago. It was replacing an edge 1030. So far it’s been problematic. When it works it’s great when it doesn’t it could be quite annoying and time consuming. It does not load my activities to Garmin Connect,or Strava when I finish. Sometimes it takes hours even though it is connected to my phone. It also at times will not sync with my HR monitor or power meter. I’ve tried deleting Garmin Connect and reinstalling it , does not seem to help. I also try removing and then re pairing my sensors. That does not seem to work either. I have also removed and re synced the 1040 with my phone and Garmin connect to no avail. As stated the unit works most of the time but I constantly have issues with it. I’ve tried everything Garmin recommends in regards to these problems to no avail. I must also mention that the solar charging claims are misleading. The unit will charge very little when in the sun directly. It cannot be charged by the sun. You still need to plug in the unit to charge it. The only solar benefit you get from it is minimal. On a three to four hour ride you might get an extra 30 minutes of battery life. Not what I thought I was buying. However I did get it for way below retail because I bought it after the 1050 was released. That is the only reason I am not returning it. I definitely would not have been happy if I paid full retail. Garmin were a little misleading with their claims.
