I've been using Garmin edge about for 8 years, I used Polar before (does anyone still remember Polar? :-) I let it go it when they let goes the cycling segment. Since then I've had garmin 1000, 1030, 1030+, 1040. I used everything for about 2 years, when the update came, I bought the new one. I'm a technophile, I'm one of those people who loves modern technologies an datas in cycling, and I like to be surrounded by the most professional, latest-developed tools possible (even if I'm aware that this won't make me a good cyclist - but I'm not sure that's the goal). Moreover, bicycle navigation is also a work tool for me, so it's clear that I try to use the latest innovations. Read the test with this in mind: I know edge devices, I've used them every day for the past 8 years, so I have a basis for comparison. It's hard to create anything better after 1040 Garmin updates its Edge series product range about every two years, but not all at once. They release new devices at different times for each model. The 1040 came out two years ago, replacing the 1030 Plus. The 1040 was a very successful device, in my opinion the best of the Edge series so far. Of course, the latest is always the best, but looking to the 1040, cleaned up the edges, left the childhood diseases behind, and came up with good software solutions. In general, it would have been difficult to find anything better, since there was no function that was missing. It beat the competition in the segment (Wahoo, Karoo, etc.) It worked stably and quickly, and the software was great. However, its biggest advantage was the battery, which lasted up to 40 hours on me
