Garmin has introduced a remarkable upgrade to its Edge series with the launch of the Garmin Edge 1050, featuring an impressive 1,000nit AMOLED display that rivals the responsiveness of modern smartphones, while offering superior battery life. This enhancement is complemented by a range of new functionalities, particularly beneficial for group riding and community engagement, including crowd-sourced identification of road hazards. Notably, the addition of a well-designed bike bell stands out as a practical feature. Furthermore, Garmin has made significant improvements to gradient responsiveness and other performance algorithms, resulting in a device that surpasses its predecessors in the Edge lineup.

This is my third Garmin Edge...beginning with the 810 then the 1030 and now the 1050. Amazing features....the turn by turn is a welcomed feature. It even has a built in bell.

Some Great Features. Some Not-So-Great

I am overall happy with my purchase. The 1050 is much faster to download and upload rides and routes. The interface with Varia devices and other ANT+ components works fairly well. There is a continuing problem (same as with 1030) with radar dropping on and off (but still working somehow) and incessant beeping as it finds and loses the linkage. Stop Course commands come and go. The device shut down in mid-ride and when restarted did’t nag to restart the current ride recordation while still showing turns.

OUTSTANDING DEVICE
on September 25, 2024

I purchased the Edge 1050 in SEP 2004 to upgrade from my Edge 830. While the device is much larger than the 830, it is packed with great features and very customizable. The speaker is a great feature that allows the user to turn up (or down) the alert sounds; a plus in windy conditions or in the winter when your ears are covered. The larger device size provides for better map viewing. Due to upgraded firmware, response time to alerts is faster and pairing to components and transferring data is much faster. Most importantly, I have not experienced any firmware glitches that required patches or other updates. It works great right out of the box. Overall, I am very impressed with the 1050.

Impressive screen and performance.

Just got a bike and added this. Integrates with heart monitor, power meter, cadence, rear tail camera and radar and front light. Best feature may be controlling music. Takes a while to learn how to customize and use widgets but it’s coming. I’ve uploaded a few old courses I plan to follow. The Bell may be the only reason to buy. Way more features than I have tried but nice to see anything you want. Notifications are good too.

I think this model isn't as good as my 840

I bought the first 1050 and after 1 use it would not power on. It was replaced free of charge so that was good. On the second ride with the 1050, while sitting in my accessories bag, the face shattered.
