Awesome price on a 1030 Plus. I've said it before, but reviews don't show much difference between the 1030 Plus and the new 1040 Edge head unit. The 1040 has better custom routing and even more accurate GPS tracking, but otherwise, not a lot of difference (except for price).

I own a 1030 Plus and it's been selling for $370 - $400 for quite some time. When have you seen it as low as $320 - at least in the last 4 months?

Wasn't there a deal for $300 during the summer? Regardless, there was a period of about 6 months in late 2022 - early to mid 2023 when various places were blowing out the 1030 Plus bundle (including HRM, speed and cadence) for $350. I suspect most folks still looking for a 1030 Plus picked one up then.

Nothing wrong with posting another deal on the 1030 Plus, just don't be surprised if you don't get much response anymore.

It was $299 (?) as late as August I think.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with posting it, as it is still a descent and dare I say high-end computer by any metric. Many people get these just for the ease of the large screen, to whom the newer 1040 has little to offer.

But it remains a "luxury" within the luxury that this kind of cycling is, so people who can afford a $300-320 gadget, will often splurge for the slightly more current one, or had the $4xx to spend, and did.

Bought this for my mountain bike. Used like 3 times? Sits on the shelf. Cannot locate satellites and extremely slow accuracy. Should've sent the damn thing back. Worthless purchase

Woah, a couple things. First, that $299 price was a great deal, but lasted only a few hours on one day. The normal price on the 1030 Plus has been around $370 - $400 as I said in the OP. Second, where are you buying a 1040 for $4xx? Current price on Amazon for the 1040 is $550.

Also, as Garmin's newest Edge head unit computer, along with the 1040 Solar, it really hasn't been discounted all that much. It's not like you can wake up one morning and say "I think I need Garmin's best bike computer" and then just order a 1040 on Amazon for $400 something. In fact, that claim seemed so outrageous that I just pulled the CCC graph on the 1040 head unit, alone, and the lowest Amazon has EVER sold the 1040 for (and it was for a very short period of time, about one day) was $503.99.

So, I spend a lot of money on bike accessories, but $320 vs $500 - $550 isn't something to sneeze at... esp when the 1040 isn't much better than the 1030 Plus.

Seems like a good deal if you want the bigger screen. I went with the 530 for the cheaper price and to avoid the touch screen. I'm sure the touch screen makes setup and changing data fields much better but judging by passed experiences using my phone I wanted button operation for actual riding. Amazon actually has some used like new 530s for 170$ which I thought was pretty good.

GPS units will not work under the tree covers as well as on the roads, also in comparison to road riding there will be more turns/switchbacks etc, and the polling rate for GPS either have to be adjusted or sometimes is just not fast enough. The solution is to run a speed sensor with the computer. Bigger screen will also help with any navigation as this unit supports Trailfork maps.

Never had issues with any garmin device: MUCH better accuracy and consistency under GPS only vs a smartphone, unparalleled battery life vs a smartphone when the latter also uses LTE/4G etc. And we are talking MTB & hiking alike, both close and really far from cities.
