@Sportivecyclist

Check out the latest Black Friday deals on Amazon - great discount on the Edge 830 ... Edge 830:

@despreocupado

Prices for the 830 on Black Friday 2023 became and have since remained relatively low. Your informative and even-handed review here pushed me over the edge so to speak, and I'm going to go with the elder model. Thanks!

@900swalker

Solar models have very dim screens compared to non-solar models….

@marcelhunziker9017

You all better go for the 1040! More space for data fields, better visibility for both, reading data fields and navigation. And the battery running time is better.

@deDANIEL11609

my 830 is vergy buggy software wise, would like to get rid of it.

@Peakabike

Thanks for the comparison, TBH I can't find a good reason to upgrade my trusty 530!

@deDANIEL11609

Are the new training features of the 840 worth to upgrade?

@landon1500

Wow! Audio quality and production have massively increased over the past year! Just watched your should you buy the 830 in 2023, keep up the great work!

@GiacomoZivieri

Great video man. Had everything I needed for my valuation. While it might no be great for your total view duration time, it would have been great for us watchers to have the video timestamped

@thomaskuhn6541

I might have missed it, did you mention that the 840 has twice the internal memory of the 830? The Garmin maps are supposed to require quite a bit more memory with all the Climb Pro info that's now included.

@deDANIEL11609

Can I use strava segments while following a route on the 840?

@cristianditommaso4900

Man you're really a good tester and presenter! Thanks from Italy

@felipeprenholato2301

As an software engineer, I must say that I'm (very) disappointed with Garmin. There is some software updates that could be in Edge 830 if they want to. Better ClimbPro is one of those. There is very needed improvements on navigation about cues texts max lenght too. In my humble opinion, as a piece of hardware so expensive that must last so much years, is important to keep it getting good improvements instead just bugfixes.

@mrskeltal3281

I like my 830 but its not without its hiccups. The screen goes bananas in the rain, the climb pro can go out of sync, and the live strava segments seem to work only when they want to, but I will stick with it for now. I do like the idea of some extra physical buttons though!

@clarsen1010

lol this dude is funny af. very informative! thanks.

@lethargic_cow

Thanks for the review!

@intheknowcycling

Very informative; even more entertaining. What setup are you using to get those great action shots of the 830 and 840 on your bars? Thanks.

@ukaszpisiewicz1237

Can Garmin 840 change the displayed windows while driving using buttons or only by touch? The description says that also the buttons work, but do they work in all functions?
