Switched from a Wahoo Elmnt bolt because I wanted integration with my Fenix watch and Insta360 cam. I was nervous about changing from Wahoo after about 4 years of use. The Edge 1050 is very easy to figure out. Really intuitive and soooo many features. Couldn't be happier.
This is the best Garmin Edge device yet. I've been using the Garmin devices since 2016. It is so intuitive and easy to use. It loads fast and updates quickly. It does everything I ever wanted and more. I keep finding new uses for it. It is worth every penny (helps that it was on sale so the price was a bit easier to swallow). I have had no second thoughts about getting this.
I am upgrading from the Edge 1030. Overall, the 1050 is much faster and the screen is significantly better & more clear. One opportunity to improve…and this is a big one for me…the new segment live tracking screen is a material downgrade. To the extent, I have to ask who designed this, who approved it, did you show it to ANY cyclists before implementing it? The new screen is much larger, but on the live segment tracking they made the numbers MUCH smaller than on the old screen….why on Earth would you do that? I can’t even read them riding easy, forget about when I am going hard and need some feedback in terms of am I up or down. Absolutely terrible in my humble opinion.
This is my second Edge 1050; first stopped syncing with radar (both RTL 515 and Rearvue 820). This one seems to sync fine. Loaded with features and screens — more than I need, but that’s fine.
