I actually bought the 530 a few years ago because I wanted the buttons. I also liked the smaller size and felt the 1030 has too big. The only downside I felt was not having touch screen functionality on maps, scrolling is just not that good with buttons.

I’m definitely thinking seriously about the 840 now. Thanks

very in depth review and awesome video quality. I just purchased the 840 and don't regret it at all. Ive been using it for MTBing and its so feature rich. The touchscreen itself is a blessing over just only having buttons

WOW! Amazing video and content. Thank you SO much providing this overview. Been using 530's (his/hers) for several years. No issues to speak of. However, the new climb pro feature looks pretty appealing. Could be an upgrade in the near future. Thanks again so much for info. Cheers! (PS Still loving my F7X!)

Thanks a lot for this. Only bought the 830 last year but was looking at the 1040 Solar because of Solar and the new Interface.. Now that it's there for the 840 Solar and also the new ClimbPro (especially also when not on a pre-loaded route) means i have sell the 830 🙂

@conde35

Nice review. I bought a 840 Solar and I'm very happy with it

@IowaNinersFan

Thank you for the reviews of both units. I currently have the Edge 130 Plus and feel like I've outgrown it. Leaning towards the 540 Solar since I don't need the touchscreen feature (that's what my phone is for) same for the storage unit.

Amazing video Des. Looking forward to your next new bike computer video

Picked up an 840 non-solar today. Updated the firmware from version 7.18 to the latest 9.09 and went for several rides with hills. Love, Love, Love the auto Climb Pro. It assumes your intended climb route based on popularity, but if you make a turn otherwise it will adapt. New fonts are easier to read and a much improved UI. Keep in mind, there is about a 7 second delay adjusting the grade values.

Thanks for another great review DesFit as always 😁👍

@Dunc2222

Terrific review, as usual. I appreciate your thoroughness, attention to detail, and great production quality. I would be interested in your thoughts comparing the 840 and 1040. Thanks.
