Outstanding performance
on July 13, 2025
Posted by: Spokane MTB Skills
I really like the large colored screen. It is very easy to read while riding even with 7 blocks.
Super fast up dates for Elevation and the other fields.

When I need situational awareness, 1050 distracts
on July 13, 2025
Posted by: BCord
Short version: This is my 4th Garmin cycling computer. It is the worst.
Garmin's beeps and red banners have me staring down at it when it thinks there's a hazard nearby, which is EXACTLY NOT what a cyclist needs to be doing in that situation. The 1050 is a source of nuisance distractions, and a negative for safe alert cycling.

I'm sorry to hear that the Edge 1050 isn't quite what you expected. If you'd prefer not to hear the alert tones and see the hazard banners, you can disable those on the device.
To disable the alert tones: select the three lines (the hamburger menu) > System > Sounds > Tones > press the speaker icon to mute all sounds.
To disable the hazard alert banners: select the three lines (the hamburger menu) > Activity Profiles > select a profile > Alerts and Prompts > Road Hazard Warnings. For full details of other alerts you can disable, check out this link:

If you have any additional questions, please contact Garmin Support at 800-800-1020, then select option 3 to reach our Fitness team, then select option 6 to speak with our team of Edge experts.

I can read it without my glasses
on July 11, 2025
Posted by: Cycling Tone
I have only had my 1050 a few weeks and it is the bomb as far as I am concerned. The bright screen and large display screen is great for my old eyes. It has more features than I will ever use but being able to read the screen and being able to hear the prompts for turns and radar alerts make it worth the investment to me. Battery life is great and the gps is quick to alter routes when changing course on a ride. All in all I am very pleased with my Edge 1050.

Great but a lot of swiping
on July 11, 2025

Got my 1050 about a month ago after my 810 sadly died. Love it but a couple things I’m not crazy about. Maybe it’s me but a lot of swiping when I’m on a wrong screen to find the one I want. And to start an activity it’s the “hard button” on the bottom instead of a screen tap like my 810 did. Same for stopping. Maybe there’s another way but I haven’t found I yet.
Otherwise it’s easy to read even in bright sun but text is a little small for someone who needs reading glasses.

Worked great, until...

I have been using this for 1 week with no issues. Today the 1050 got an update, and it has frozen on me twice on my commute back home from work.

Highly Recommend!!

Incredible upgrade from the Edge 820 I was using. Only complaint is it is big, and on all mounts I've tried, the buttons are tough to access as they're right up against the bars. I would suggest buttons on the sides for future models. My Di2 shifter buttons can perform some of the Garmin button functions for a partial work-around on this. Otherwise, incredibly simple user interface, loaded with new features, brilliant display even in bright sunshine, incredible battery life. Not evident when researching this purchase, is that you CAN use the 1050 to display and control your music from iPhone, which was a great surprise feature for me!

I bought about a month ago and I really like it! It does have a huge learning curve and there are things I would change about it but if you are into gps fitness products this is a good one.
