Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/4/2023by AnonymousCycling Enthusiastchapel hill, ncAwesome GPS I had always used Garmin, but 16 months ago I went with the new Hammerhead Karoo 2. Well that unit simply died. Hammerhead customer service sucks. So I did some research and decided on the new Garmin 840 that easily integrated with the new Shimano Di2 with no additional widgets. I hate the whole set-up process with new computers, but I dinged on a couple youtube videos and this thing was a breeze. It ain't cheap but it is an awesome computer.

Review by JEHReviewed 8/28/2023by JEHCycling EnthusiastShenandoah Valley, VirginiaExceptional product. Great touchscreen. Great for mapping.I�ve had three or four previous versions.

Review by Zoomi3Reviewed 7/28/2023by Zoomi3Cycling EnthusiastChicago1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Easy to navigate, customize, and read.One, I just cannot emphasize enough on BTD sale offerings.
This operates very well in sunny and low-light conditions. There is a minor glare/reflection issue if you catch the sun right, but overall, 10/10. This is my first cycling computer and it synced up without any issue to my power meter. Customizing the screen layout for your specific needs is also super easy.

Have a Garmin watch and wanted to try the Garmin cycling computers. The 840 is must better computer: Easy to use and customize, better accuracy, and touch screen! Would recommend this to anyone.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/4/2023by Anonymous5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Better than previous versionsMore intuitive than previous versions. Faster than previous versions. Still has the issue where the altimeter/elevation calculator does work in the rain. Navigation still a bit wonky, especially on re-routing. Sporadic connectivity with my Garmin headlight, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn�t. All in all an upgrade, but Garmin still has some bugs to work out.
