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

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 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.

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.

I bought this as a replacement for my Garmin 510 which finally broke after 10 years. The 840 has a very good color screen. It has a touch screen as well as side buttons. It has all the functions of the 510 and then some. I only use the basic functions.In order to see the screen in daylight on my bike, I have to turn the screen brightness all the way up. A downside to doing this is the battery then only lasts 3-4 rides. I've already had it die on me during a ride. The 510 used to last 12+ rides.I rate it 3-4 stars because of needing to turn up the brightness which results in only a few rides being recorded before a recharge.

This is my first cycling computer, and even though I haven’t used one before, the interface of the Garmin 840 is really practical. I chose this model because it includes a widget to control the music playing on your cellphone. So far, I’m totally happy with it. It offers the same functions as the Garmin 1040 but in a more compact size.

Garmin is becoming my go to company for measurements. I have the S2 scale for weight. The HRM Pro Plus Blood Pressure Monitor, the Garmin Power Pedals, the Heart Rate Monitor Pro Plus, my Garmin Radar Light Varia 515 (non video camera) and now this fantastic Garmin Edge 840 Cycle Computer. All these are integrated and synced to the Garmin Connect App. It's a lot of good health information to analyze to make smarter fitness decisions. Like the 840 because it starts instantly, no waiting. Gives me around 63 measurements in a single ride. It's pretty speedy. I got the 1040 but didn't like it. I like this smaller size. Links with Strava. It's pricey but all Garmin is pricey. Measure to Motivate. I'm 70 and I can still ride 100 miles. I generally do 20 mile rides 3 or 4 times a week. Love this pairs with Shimano dI2 shifters so I have a visual of what gear I'm in and the radar lets me know vehicles behind me accurately. Recommended.

Great upgrade
