— Show originalWith gloves on and whatever the weather, this is smarter with its buttons than its sister model with a touch screen. Solar continues the operation of the battery for its part, but does not replace regular charging via USB-C. Commissioning was clever as Garmin meters had been used before.| Overall rating |
— Show originalInstalled on the bike and it was easy. Setting up the device was also simple and the device was connected to other Garmin devices. Very satisfied with the product, at least for now.| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe device has been in use for a while now and has proven to be a good purchase even for such a hobbyist rider. It's easy to connect to different sensors and devices, and even sunlight comfortably charges the device for additional time, even though there hasn't really been a need for this yet. The battery itself lasts well, and it hardly needs to be charged after every run. It took some time before I learned how to browse through the menus and select the right things, but now with a few times of experience, using the device has already become routine. I recommend!| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe Garmin Edge 540 user interface is clearly designed for a touch screen. It's painful to use the pieces to operate, but yes, you can manage with it now. I got this on sale and the 840 base version later came on sale. I would have paid about 70-80e more for the touch screen without Solar.
The included standard mount went with thicker rubber to Canyon's CP series carbon fiber bar. So that was a nice thing.
A good device despite everything, and the Edge Remote accessory I bought for changing screens while driving is quite necessary, although it seems to be necessary in 840 cases as well. But I almost inoculate two stars for that interface.
Update to the original:
I decided to replace the device with an Edge 1040 because the usability just wasn't at the desired level in this touch screen era.| Overall rating |
— Show originalAfter a little learning, the device works properly and the battery lasts really well. The screen could be bigger in some situations, but this one will do well too.| Overall rating |
— Show originalGreat device and the battery lasts a long time| Overall rating |
— Show originalVersatile and easy to use| Overall rating |
— Show originalI was a bit suspicious of this button-only version after the touchscreen Garmin, but touch functions have not been needed more. Only browsing the map is where you really need touch control.| Overall rating |
— Show originalA bit clunky software. I don't think it's as easy to use as Garmin watches. The battery lasts well.Brand
