Feeling pretty underwhelmed. Not a lot different to my 830. Still big bezels. Still same software. Doesn’t look that much quicker. No real killer features. I didn’t see any sign of the mini map

That said, it looks like auto detect for climb pro is there. The new front screen is way better. Maybe it was a tad quicker but perhaps that is because it’s empty.

really wanted to see split screen – map and data on the same screen..

Agreed, looks like Garmin haven’t listened to what we asked for…. or perhaps a poor demo video? Who knows!

there are a few features i know about here: https://the5krunner.com/2022/05/21/garmin-edge-1040-first-images/ , plus likely a few more but i take your point!

Same battery even. Which gives the 1040 the runtime hardly anybody has ever been dreaming of. Yes, it’s an incremental release and not a revolutionary one, but that’s true for every top of the range Edge since the 800. And it’s good they did those incremental releases, because otherwise we’d never see for example the battery consumption improvements achieved by the watches division (divisions, nominally) arrive on the handlebars.

Oh man, so much crying here. USB-C and the new GPS chipset are enough reasons for me to upgrade, and I’ll be thankful for that.

Garmin doesn’t and will never listen to its users. Why? Because that’s simply how business works. Lol… Besides, garmin knows fanbois will buy anyway after all these hoohaa.. Lol

Thanks, not sure if it had been mentioned before but it seems configuration from the app will be available like on the F7/9x5s.
Outlandish claim that you can generate 42′ of extra battery time per hour of usage thanks to solar and the asterisk : “in power saving mode” !
Can’t see who would want/need to pay 150€ extra for solar ?

It can be useful for multi-day events. Imagine an event like Titan Desert, for example.

yes, going forward all (the high end) devices will have app configuration and it is (has already) selectively going back to historic models.

Really, had missed that, which models got it ?
