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.

Edge 840
It takes a bit of muscle memory to operate this unit. I like the features if I could just remember them from the day before use of it! Could be a bit more intuitive, but it’s getting the job done!

Great features!
I was deciding between Edge 540 and 840. I am glad I did the touchscreen update as I was not used to using buttons especially while riding. I am very happy with screen brightness, touch screen sensitivity, and battery life even it is raining and cold in New England. Highly recommended!
