## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted testers reviewed the Garmin Edge 840: DC Rainmaker (GPS/battery/solar instrumented) and Cycling Weekly (two-month hands-on, qualitative). Both call it excellent. They praise GPS accuracy, battery life, ClimbPro and the touchscreen, but flag gradient responsiveness, bulky map storage and feature overload. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2023-04-11–2023-08-01.)

Praised: GPS position accuracy (multiband GNSS); Long battery life; ClimbPro climbing tool; Responsive touchscreen; Fast, reliable connectivity (Bluetooth/WiFi/ANT+).
Flagged: Slow/inaccurate gradient responsiveness on steep climbs; Feature overload can be daunting to navigate; Bulky map downloads / large-region storage limits; Solar variant not worth the price premium; Self-navigation to far-off destinations crashes/freezes.
Disagreement: Genuine split on mapping/gradients: DC Rainmaker's instrumented tests call raw GPS 'basically perfect' and rank the Edge 840 the cycling computer to beat, while Cycling Weekly names mapping its 'biggest grievance,' citing wrong climb gradients and preferring Wahoo. Both note gradient-display lag, so the real distinction is GPS-track accuracy (excellent per both) vs gradient/ClimbPro display accuracy (patchy).
