Our take on the Garmin Edge Explore 3 Cycling Computer

The Garmin Edge Explore 3 is a GPS cycling computer with a 3-inch color touchscreen, Bluetooth phone connectivity and handheld use. It is built for navigation and everyday riding rather than race-day training metrics. At $399.99 at Backcountry.com as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent price range, with only two stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Edge Explore 3 worth $399.99?
That price is at the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain right now. If you mainly need navigation, waiting for a drop below $399.99 makes more sense.
How does it compare with the Edge 840 or 1040?
The Explore line focuses on navigation and simplicity, while the 840 and 1040 add deeper training and performance metrics at higher prices. Choose the Explore 3 if you do not need power-based training analysis.
What is the battery life?
Garmin rates the Edge Explore series for long multi-hour rides, but runtime depends on screen brightness, navigation use and sensor connections. Expect shorter life with the screen on constantly.
Does it work with a phone?
Yes. Bluetooth lets it pair with the Garmin Connect app for ride uploads, notifications and course syncing.
What is in the box?
The standard package includes the computer, a bike mount and a charging cable. Check the listing for bundle details before ordering.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on new cycling computers usually dip during seasonal sales and when a successor is announced. Track the price history and buy below the current $399.99.
