Better than my previous 3 models.
on July 28, 2026
Posted by: Juan P.
I haven’t had the chance to use it but a few times due to a health issue but so far:
Is the easier to use of the 3 lower models I have
It downloads my workout faster
Integrated bell plus other features.
Larger screen
Viable from every angle under the sun
Once I’m able to use it longer and able to use the gps routes I’ll write a better review.

I bought this less than a month ago, but have used it ever since and multiple times since. I absolutely love this computer. It was easy and seamless to set up and customize. It pairs quickly and stays paired. The battery is sufficient for my needs…very nice that I don’t have to charge after every few rides. And I love love love the screen.

Wonderful bike computer

The 1050 works well. Great graphics. Improvement over my 1030 plus. Especially in connecting to my other bike components. One criticism is that it does too many things that really aren’t needed. I have turned many of those things off. Like the notifications about potholes.

Worth the upgrade
on July 18, 2026
Posted by: Markme
This is the best Garmin edge unit that I have owned so far. Besides the latest feature updates ( the bell is amazing) the update processor is much faster the my 1040 Solar, which I thought was pretty good, the 1050 runs circles around it. Took me a while by trail and error to get it set up for my style of riding and to able to see the data that I am intrested in. GREAT UNIT !

Always problems with software updates
on July 17, 2026

Your device is a good one…when:
1.- You don’t experience connection issues to update your software, which is very frequent. I can’t understand how a tech company like Garmin obliges its users to shut down, reset, uninstall etc for an ordinary operation such as software update.
2.- If you have a good sight. A percentage of riders suffer from a not optimal sight, which can be worsened when….well, riding. There’s sun , shades, bumps, vibrations out there, and to create such a nice device like 1050 only to end up with small letters and numbers, I don’t understand. It looks like your engineers are all 25 with a perfect sigh and sitting in a lab… Go and try out there with a little presbicia on a gravel terrain.

The most important thing for a GPS is to facilitat
on July 15, 2026

The most important thing for a GPS is to facilitate navigation.
It should be easy to load courses in, it isn't easy and one at a time sucks..
It should be easy to off-load rides, and I haven't figured that yet.
I miss the days when I could just access the Courses and Activities folders by USB cable and make computer to GPS transfers - That was simple and straight forward.
All the other stuff is just bells and whistles.
