Complicated
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Competitive Cyclist
I chose and bought the Garmin Edge 840 Edge mainly because of the touch screen option and the hill focus. I'm hoping that one day soon, maybe by next summer, I'll get to completely enjoy these and everything else it has to offer. It's so complicated. Not only are there 7 buttons but many have dual functions. The on-line manual is of little help with no "quick start" section for new users. Like I said, I'll keep studying and hopefully by next summer.

Great product that has become obsolete.
I am sorry, but bike computers are obsolete. Just get a decent phone case, download the Strava app or any other cycling/activity app and avoid yet another $400 gadget that we dont need.
