Hi,
after some Garmin devices (GPS 12 
, Edge 520, Edge 530, Index Smart Scale, Vivomove HR, Vivomove Luxe), sometimes bought directly after release, I am used to some of the "quality" of Garmin software and have witnessed many, many bugs and have also commented again and again here. I have also read the forum here before buying the Edge 1040 and decided to buy despite the threads - and what can I say? I am after numerous mountain bike tours very happy with it. That's something that must also be said 
The setup via Connect app went well, even if there were initial difficulties with the Bluetooth connection and the Edge on software 10.xx now and then hung briefly. Regardless of whether the competition has long offered this, it is in any case pleasant to have this now on the Edge. Sensors (e-bike, heart rate, SRAM AXS) were detected flawlessly, connection is also stable on the tours. I do not use CIQ fields, so these bugs do not affect me. Display is super, touch operation with gloves also, mud on the display (mountain biker) no problem. Endless battery life. Device runs stable so far and is very fast. Navigation runs great, connection with cell phone for messages also. Tracking also ran flawlessly so far. Temperature data seems to me so far also correct. The fact that you can call up a lot of important data directly on the Edge is great - and the synchronization with the data and activities from the watch also works great. Sync via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works perfectly.
I have certainly not exhausted all the features, but what I have tried so far, ran wonderfully. In this respect: 
, I am so far very happy with the Edge 1040. A great successor to my Edge 530, which I also liked in itself.
