Prices for the 830 on Black Friday 2023 became and have since remained relatively low. Your informative and even-handed review here pushed me over the edge so to speak, and I'm going to go with the elder model. Thanks!

Wow! Audio quality and production have massively increased over the past year! Just watched your should you buy the 830 in 2023, keep up the great work!

As an software engineer, I must say that I'm (very) disappointed with Garmin. There is some software updates that could be in Edge 830 if they want to. Better ClimbPro is one of those. There is very needed improvements on navigation about cues texts max lenght too. In my humble opinion, as a piece of hardware so expensive that must last so much years, is important to keep it getting good improvements instead just bugfixes.

Off course, if you will buy a Garmin Edge for the first time, get the latest version, but upgrade to new versions every launch, isn't viable unless you are very health about money.

I like my 830 but its not without its hiccups. The screen goes bananas in the rain, the climb pro can go out of sync, and the live strava segments seem to work only when they want to, but I will stick with it for now. I do like the idea of some extra physical buttons though!

Thanks for the comparison, TBH I can't find a good reason to upgrade my trusty 530!

You should mention memory capacity. The 830 has 16GB where the 840 has 32GB. 16GB is not enough to load both US and EU maps at the same time, so when traveling it requires deleting map files in base directory of the unit (requires a PC) and loading new region maps before traveling. Then doing same on return. I only travel a couple of times each year, but it’s a pain. Cheers.

Very informative; even more entertaining. What setup are you using to get those great action shots of the 830 and 840 on your bars? Thanks.

Are the new training features of the 840 worth to upgrade?

Thank you for the comparative review! I have a question: does the 840 have the same mount compatibility as the 830 i.e. can you put both computers on the same mount? Thank you!

I might have missed it, did you mention that the 840 has twice the internal memory of the 830? The Garmin maps are supposed to require quite a bit more memory with all the Climb Pro info that's now included.

Can I use strava segments while following a route on the 840?

deDANIEL

Can Garmin 840 change the displayed windows while driving using buttons or only by touch? The description says that also the buttons work, but do they work in all functions?
