“my 830 got a crack in the screen and wanted a replacement. garmin offered me a good price for a refurbished model but luckily i bought a new 840, significant upgrade from the 830. would recommend depiste it sounding the same on the face of it. largely software related with some minor hardware enhancements, but 840 is significantly better than the 830.”
“Have only used my Garmin 840 a few times so far. Happy with the battery life with is why I got this over the 850. Which had poor reviews on that feature.
It does everything I need it to do. Will test more on my next bikepacking trip.”
“Data rich but easy to use and modify for specific training needs. Swipe screen excellent addition as is the climb feature on all routes not just pre planned ones.
Good size and nice to have 2 mounts for different bikes.
Connects easily to Garmin watch, Strava, komoot and cell phone. Resilience and longevity to perform remains to be seen.
Would recommend.”
