Garmin Edge 840 Solar GPS-fietscomputer, inclusief aerodynamische stuurhouder
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
De Garmin Edge 840 Solar biedt uitstekende navigatie, kaarten en connectiviteit, en is makkelijk te bedienen dankzij zowel touchscreen als knoppen. ClimbPro 2.0 is een groot pluspunt voor klimmers. De solarfunctie verlengt de batterijduur, maar vooral bij zonnig weer en lange ritten; bij bewolking is het effect beperkt. Het scherm is helder, maar kan reflecteren in fel zonlicht. De prijs is hoog, vooral door de solar-optie, die voor veel gebruikers niet essentieel is. Overweeg of je echt extra batterijduur nodig hebt voordat je voor de Solar kiest.
Reviews van Garmin Edge 840 Solar GPS-fietscomputer, inclusief aerodynamische stuurhouder
Still the best cycling computer available. It doesn't have the new screen or the speaker of the 850, but the battery life if far superior, and for daily use well worth the trade off and cost savings. As of now Garmin is still supporting the 840 with new sales and updates. I much prefer the touch screen over the 5xx series, making this the one of the best cycling computers available.

The interface is so confusing you can never find a setting twice in a row, it loses connection with your phone, it takes forever to download videos, and you have to create a Wi-Fi network between the device and your phone, it’s incessantly popping up alerts and making noises there’s no way to silence them, you can’t just enjoy your ride without it being incredibly invasive.

I absolutely love this head unit! I am very glad I got the touch screen, it is very easy to navigate through the menus using this feature. I believe it would be much more difficult to use without a touch screen. I have had no visibility issues, even in full sun, my backlight is set to automatic. It does everything I need and gives me lots extra to play with, great tool and a fun toy.

The difference between my Edge Explore to the 840 is huge. Battery life, functionality, displays, accuracy are all 4X improvements. Something that seems trivial is the rear charging port that will easily allow on the bike recharging - however now I’m not sure I will need it. I stayed with the touch screen and that is also much more responsive. These also pair with my Meta glasses, which is nice
