I bought this. Computer as an upgrade from my 1030. I loved the new features and color. The climbing coach is a great features that adds challenges during the ride. Set up was an ease. I added a case to to protect the computer and screen protector to protect the screen. Because the computer is new, i am still learning some the features. It's a great computer to help navigate around on two wheels
Been a Garmin user for years… Bike pedals for power. Edge computer for tracking and GPS. HR strap. Connect…. I love Garmin and i finally decided to upgrade from my Edge 830 to the Edge 1050 and wow…. Incredible difference…. The display is amazing… the setup is easy… can see so much data while also GPS’ing…. Great views on climbs…. Love how i can see my gear positions and use of gears during workouts when analyzing in connect… it is just so awesome…..
The unit has issues with received purchased content and unable to load to the unit using Garmin Express and also, several big rides that I recently completed; the fit file gets corrupted and unable to load to Garmin Connect, unable to repair file using tools available on the web and Garmin support unable to fix either issue.
I’m dissatisfied with the tone and volume of the radar warning on the 1050. It’s a soft tone and I’ve already been surprised by several cars because I didn’t hear the warning. Please fix!!!
This fit what I needed. I upgrade from the GE 530 for the screen size. It is all that and more! There is so much data to gain from the new computers. The battery life has been great too. Switching (pairing) info over from 530 was a breeze. No complaints in that department. However, I wasn't getting text notifications, but wasn't aware that iphones and Garmins don't play well with one another. I watch a lot of videos to help assist me in setting up or finding specific things. For example, Virtual Partner they finish 45 min ahead of me but I can't seem to find where I can change the settings. Since this is one of the newest edges, the 'how to videos' are limited. As we roll into spring here, I will get a chance to play around with it more I am sure some of these issues will be resolve.

I've had this a month or so. My only complaint is that you can't adjust the varia radar warning lever. It's either on or off. How about a voice that says "car back"?
I went from the 530 to the 1050 and what a difference. The sound is so much louder, bigger better screen and it’s so clear and easy to read. The touch screen is fantastic and the 1050 is so easy to understand and navigate.
