Great bike bit of tech
I've used a Fenix watch for years and this is very nice to see stats while on the bike. I love the tracking, live heart rate, and all other details on the screen. The climb pro works darn good as well.

It's just okay
I have a Wahoo Elemnt that I like, but purchased the Edge 840 because it has the ability to read my Dexcom glucose monitor. So far I'm not impressed with the Edge. I find the user interface to be clunky and not very intuitive, the touch screen is also problematic. I'm disappointed, compared to the Wahoo the Wahoo wins hands down but I'll keep workting with the Edge because of the interface with my CGM.

All good
It tracks my rides and appears to be extremely accurate. I don't use any of the training functions at this time as much of it is new to me. It was easy to pair with my phone and heart rate monitor. That said: the owners manual provided is basically worthless.

So far so excellent!
So far, the 840 is proving to be an excellent bike computer. Setup using the Garmin Connect app on my phone was a doddle since I just transferred the settings from my 530. The new GUI is a great upgrade and is intuitive to use. I was hesitant about getting a bike computer with a touch screen, but so far the 840's touch screen has been brilliant, working perfectly in the rain. I haven't had to use the navigation features yet, but given how well my 530 navigated, I expect the 840 to work even better.

Nice
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
It's not the easier device to get to the whole menu, thats why I gave it 4 stars. I thing Garmin should work a little bit on their graphics and accesability of different functions. But overall, its a nice little computer that records and guide me while cycling.

Perfect for me
The Garmin Edge 840 is my first cycling computer. Prior to this I was using Garmin wrist watches. This is so much better and much more capable. I look forward to using more and more of the capabilities of the device.
