Amazon Prime Day in October, or to give it the official title, Amazon Big Deals Days runs from October 7th to 8th. However, the Prime Day cycling deals are already dropping, and one early discount that caught my eye was on the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar – one of the best bike computers.
The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar is discounted to just $570.99, a reduction of 24% and an overall saving of $179, which makes it the lowest price I’ve ever seen, beating the previous best $585.99 from the last Prime Day in July.
The Edge 1040 Solar is also reduced to $549.99 at Walmart, should you wish to shop away from Amazon. It’s the best price I’ve seen on the Garmin 1040 Solar, and it’s unlikely it’ll go lower during the actual Amazon Prime Day event – so I’d say, why wait? Grab it now before it sells out.
The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar and its non-solar sibling may no longer be the flagship device in Garmin’s lineup of GPS computers, as it has recently been succeeded by the Garmin Edge 1050, which has no solar function and a battery life of only around 40 hours.
The 1050 is priced at $699.99, cheaper than the full-price 1040 Solar, but the battery performance difference is massive, and with the upgrades from the 1040 to the 1050 being fairly minimal, if you are willing to forgo a few of those features, and battery life is your most important feature – the 1040 Solar remains the solid choice, especially at this price.
The 1040 Solar’s battery life is its trump card, and if you like to test the limit of battery life on your cycling tech, then you’ll do well to exhaust the 1040 Solar….
