The edge 1040: An absolute disaster of bugs

99% training and no riding, no navigation. I've got to say, what on earth are you doing buying a cycling computer in the first place. Just use an app and your phone. Utter madness. 

Check the other thread if you are using a connect IQ field that's your problem and Garmin are on it. Otherwise go back to your black and white wahoo with no connect iq. Or use your phone for training indoors like everyone else

You have been using the wahoo as a odometer for a couple years.  I have not ridden with the 1040 yet but if I cherry pick just the parts I want there may be no problems either. I understand that only the parts you use are important to you and fully support you in that.  
I chose the bolt over garmin back in the day.  Then I did a 1700km multi day ride.  The navigation on that thing was a dumpster fire. It puked on day 3 and I could never get it working again.  It kept giving me the option to go back to the start of the course or reverse it and start at the end. I ended up using my phone for 4 days of the trip to navigate and everything else.  

I think when you are throwing stones you should compare the whole device to the whole device.  I loved the wahoo setup and using your phone for everything.  But I used it for tracking a ride and navigating. It was a complete failure. Navigating anything other than a short ride was almost pointless.   I have never had that problem with a garmin even with the 130 plus.  Dont get me wrong.  When I sold my 1030 I decided to buy the rally 200 pedals.  I called garmin up asked if the 130 plus would support the rally x pedals fully and they said yes.  We went through all the specs....  Well guess what they didnt and I ended up losing $150 on that little computer. It was a great computer....  But it didnt work for what GARMIN told me it would so yes it was a POS.  Not because it wasnt a great computer. Because garmin told me it would work and it didnt.  But I also did a 700km backcountry bikepack race with it and it was awesome other than it did not support my pedals.  

So cut the 1040 some slack. Its a week old. Garmin needs to do more that is for sure.  I am sure If I try to take the bolt on that 1700km ride it will screw up this year again. Ill use the garmin.  I would rather everything work but some niche sensor that the manufacturer does not support properly to begin with.

But I do hear where you are coming from!!!!!!!!!!

My original bolt v1 was ok until butons peel off , this happent after 6 months of use, Wahoo send me another device 

What graph do you want on workout? garmin has it, wahoo have it, on Garmin steps are on the higher level, Wahoo has all steps in the screen, but both can be used 

Garmin has suggested workout, Wahoo relies for Everything on third party vendors, everything 

Wahoo does not have lap by position, its only a simple device that displays numbers, thats it

Wahoo setup its easy but the rest it's a lie, zero backup of the configuration, and you cannot move config from one device to another, if something is wrong the  you have to start all over

Also I sow that Garmin intorduced online fields change , in fhe future most probably they will polish this functionality

i really love wahoo screen, its something thats mising from Garmin, but then again touch vs buttons , diferent tehnology

1040 feedback

Good:

-usb C

-touch very good

-sleek design

-very good battery

-gps acuracy , or the strava displays almost perfect lines comparing with 830 for example

-elevation screen tweeks

Bad:

-menues are little bit hard to understand

*for example if i need to load an course when activity was already started 

-workout page still is designed by someone that is not a cyclist(programmer ...) , still it can be used 

-map page can be more simplier, to much details 

No I’m not trolling at all. It’s indeed usable device, I had 1030 years ago and sold it bc of software issues - dropping connections to the trainer etc. it’s jus not good enough for the money it costs. 

I do training outdoors in summer, man. And I don’t want to put iPhone Pro Max as a cycling computer, it’s too big and unstable, and its screen is not readable on sunny days. Indoors I use windows machine work powerful graphics. 

Buggy devices are Garmin. Remember the ZUMO660 for motobikes. It was a desaster from the beginning til the end. I have sworn not to buy anything else from Garmin but I did with the 1040. Appears to be the same story. It seems that agile software developement has no quality gates, never had in the past, never will in future. Quick and dirty, customer buys anyway.

I did yesterday 3x 7 min at 300 w indoors, and it was working great, no disconect , just the bug with  disapeering workout page

krazyeone There is now a public beta found here that should address the Workout page removing itself.
