Great computer and great size

I picked this up after using an 840 for the last couple of years. I was looking for longer battery life and a bigger screen, and it hits both marks. The size is great for using the map screen with the MapDashboardMS widget to get all of your important details on one screen. I can read all fields easily now, whereas things were pretty tiny on the 840. I recently took this on a three-day bikepacking trip, and battery life is great, with a small boost from the solar. No need to charge during those three days - I had about 1/3 of a battery left at the end. Now that it's Fall heading into winter, the angle of the sun isn't as good for picking up power on the panel, but I've been surprised by the boost in runtime I get. For the negatives: it's still a Garmin, so the interface is complicated and sometimes tedious (try pausing radar tones for a busy highway section). There are still software bugs, the same I encountered on my 840, mostly around occasional issues pairing sensors on wakeup, and one freeze after wake that needed a hard reset to get it running again. None of these are issues during a ride though. I would like to see the maps work a little faster - turning up the detail on a map slows things down, but I don't notice it while I'm navigating a route. I consider map rendering speed a tradeoff for battery life. I've put the computer through its paces now on gravel, MTB, bikepack and road rides, and I'm quite happy with it. While the newer processor on the *50 series would be nice, I value the battery life more for the riding I do. Oh, also I do not miss the extra side buttons on the 840 - those were always too small for me to use reliably anyway.

Great trail and gravel maps

I upgraded from the Edge 800. Lots of changes. Bigger screen with color. The navigational map is awesome. The ability to set up the screens the way you want is great. The one thing that did surprise me was that the sensors are not tied to a bike profile. The only one I share is the HR.

Another great device

I purchased 1040 Solar immediately upon release years ago. It's been 100% reliable and problem free. The solar feature is great in sunny Colorado. I often forget the last time I charged it, as the solar feature works so well. I don't need to stare at my screen ever, so the low resolution maps don't bother much.
