Absolutely +1. I have the 130. Very easy to operate, gives you everything you need.

Love my Garmin 840 in general - but then I'm deep into the Garmin ecosystem. The only complaint I have is that if you are following a route, but get off-course (or are forced to detour) is basically useless. You simply can't trust it to quickly and efficiently re-route you back to the course. It may decide to route you back to the start - and with the relatively small screen, it's difficult to tell what it's doing.
I also had the Edge Explore 2 and I agree that's the best option for someone who just wants a good computer without every bell and whistle. Don't do the 540 - as noted - the current interface is designed around touch. Very difficult to do anything but change screens with just the buttons - and the touch screen actually works quite well. Even with winter gloves on. There are a few data fields that garmin could do to make a bit larger text. Even with my still halfway decent vision some of those numbers are difficult to read. |

Although the blue tooth smartphone app set up for the Wahoo Element is very enticing, the Garmin Edge Explore 2 seems really good at the current sale price. Will give this a go. Thank you everyone for your input.

In my experience with both, the Bryton is superior or at least the same in all ways and I recommend it strongly. |

I bought a Garmin 1030 Plus a few months ago for a great price on Amazon. It's one generation back from the current 1040, and I read little changed in the 1040. The screen is big and bright and has awesome battery life.

It's all good, I think you just needed another coffee.

I thought I had a 530 or 540. I was hesitant to update the firmware a few months ago when it said it downloaded an 840 version. I installed it and all was well. A week or two later I remembered that I bought the 840 for the larger screen, and touchscreen instead of buttons.
