The Garmin 1040 may no longer be the flagship device in Garmin's stable of GPS computers, having been recently replaced by the Garmin Edge 1050. However, upgrades from the 1040 were few and far between. So, if you're happy to miss out on a few new features like the better screen, which significantly reduces battery life, Garmin Pay, and a digital bell, then the 1040 is still the way to go.

The 1040's battery life is claimed to be 35 hours, which is quite impressive for a non-solar Garmin, with the 1040 Solar extending its capacity to 45 hours.

The 3.5-inch colour touchscreen displays an almost unfathomable number of features on a sharp, bright screen centred on fitness and performance technology. Highlights include a focus on strength and stamina training designed to improve the right areas. The built-in training programme will even prompt you if you miss a workout. These functions make it much easier to check and plan training schedules.

These deals are currently only available in the US, but below are all the best Garmin Edge 1040 deals in your territory.
