Just like the Edge 840 Only Better..
on August 12, 2024
Posted by: ShadowSiabot
So why buy the 1050, when I already have the edge 840? Its the Bell Baby, well and a lot of other things. Getting older I appreciate the clarity in the display and the larger working area. Is it that much better than the 840? Yes it is.. The one caveat was when I transferred my sensors over. The Varia Radar needed to be removed and re-paired with the unit. Everything else paired up nicely first run time and even my training page layouts were transferred over.. Sweet..!!! FWIW: I've been a Garmin Edge user all the way back to the Edge 500 until it basically quit working. LOL. Hope the 1050 is as bombproof.

Great Screen, snappy Processor
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: Jdrides
I’ve ridden three rides for 150 miles. I really like the visibility of the screen. Post ride downloads to Garmin Connect seem quicker and more reliable. The screen menus are customizable on the 1050, instead of having to use Garmin Connect on a cell phone. So far I find the interface to be intuitive and user friendly. The bell is a nice feature, but I haven’t found it to be intuitive or reliable. Sweaty hands on a touch screen may not activate it in a timely fashion. It works, and its neat but I always have a traditional bell that I can ring more easily. Haven’t used it at night yet. The form factor fits all my original mounts, which is a relief that I didn’t have to remount for space. Great Job Garmin.

Great display

Upgraded from a 1030 based on reviews of the display - exceeded expectations. Also nice is the faster processor and longer battery life. Do not like having to use Garmin Connect to upload routes from RWGPS. I do not use any of the training functions so those are all turned off.

A lot of money for a bell

I sold my Garmin 1030 and bought the 1050. I love the bell. Graphic display is much easier to read and most of my gear transferred over automatically.

Size too Large

Unfortunately due to its size , I was unable to lock it on my Enve computer mount. I had to go with a smaller computer.

Large and clear screen
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: Jheggen
My old eyes love the large and clear screen. I am so impressed with the ease of setup when it migrated all my profiles and sensors from my older head unit. I also have enjoyed the climb pro feature and on the fly navigation which functions just like my map app on the phone. But it’s the electronic bell that tops it off. I like it so much I talked my friend’s wife into getting one for his birthday!

Great Cycling Computer

Upgraded from the 830. The 1050 has a way better screen and the battery life has been much improved. The new UI adds a lot to the experience as well.

Edge 1050 Absolutely Amazing
on August 8, 2024
Posted by: Duger
I have used this Garmin Edge 1050 now for about a month and love everything about it from my previous Garmin Edge 1040. Out of the box it was easy to setup and charge. The color display if vivid day/night. I also purchased the protective case which made it a bit to long for my Aero bar mount but was able to add my light under the Garmin Edge 1050 and no problems. The audio prompts are a nice upgrade as well. My one issue is that I wish they would change the charging to magnetic.
