Great review, every joke hit me very unexpected 10/10

To the comment on the brightness and contrast of the screen: DC Rainmaker's review pointed out that the Solar version of the 840 is a little less bright than the regular version. With that and solar not adding much battery life at all, I went for the regular 840.

Love the 840. Connections are fast and easy. Upload was instantaneous. Probably selling my Wahoo.

Great. All good points. I have the same and it has worked well for me. I got the solar on price promotion, so was only about a tenner more than the non-solar version. Like you, l get a few minutes gain on rides.
Work well in my Garmin eco system using power pedals and Epix as well as other Ant/Bluetooth devices. So, yes, I’m pleased with it.

Underrated review, every joke was 10/10

will the Garmin 1040 plus be released soon? Or will that take a few more years?



[Peakabike]

Thanks for the video !
Still toying with the idea of upgrading to the 840 from my 530...It does all I need except when it comes to map zooming in/out and scrolling to get a better sense of the route ahead. That's likely much easier to do on the 840 ?

I have a very disappointing experience with my Edge 840. Navigation is hard to see and follow, the colors make no sense especially on the sun with sunglasses. Ad hock navigation is not reliable. I was 4kms in a straight line to the beginning of a bike race in Granada. It calculated a 25kms route to get there! It’s just unreliable. Had to use google maps to get there. Also the integration with the phone it’s crazy slow. Finish a route, takes more then 45m to upload to Garmin connect. Also to download routes takes forever. Stop creating new features and work on the core functions.

nice

i am looking at getting 1040 solar

[rudychavira]

This 840 is the one I'm looking at from
Other videos the screen seems very readable thanks for a great review

The Dance of the Pom-Pom sold it for me

[deDANIEL]

should I upgrade from the 830? I am interested about the trainings features as I have a powermeter

[SebastianSimankowicz]

So I got my Edge 840 two days ago. And a question came to my mind. Are we able to start/stop the ride (activity) on the touch-screen?

[KingCollagen]

What's the camera you use for filming your rides Monty?

[ericnueva]

Hi yah whats the difference between 840 and 840 solar? Aside from the battery?

[mikep]

Can the edge 840 perform turn by turn voice navigation though my iphone via bluetooth ?
