A very nice upgrade to my Edge 1030. Improved interface, lots of new training features, USB-C charging is a huge plus. The data is easier to see while riding. The device immediately locates the satellite and pairs to my heart rate monitor, power meter, and SRAM Red AXS devices. The rides upload to Connect more quickly. Improved alerts and too many other positive attributes to enlist.
The screen is much better than the 1040 and the response time is way faster when moving through settings and options, i do not experience sensors disconnecting as i do with my 1040. Just wish i can make the bell louder.
I replaced an Edge 840 with the 1050. The new screen and UI is fantastic. Battery life is still stellar. I did an 25 mile/68min ride yesterday and the battery went from 100% down to 96%. The UI overall is better than previous units and everything is faster. Great device.
Two weeks with 1050. Pros DISPLAY!!! Great job, Garmin. The display is definitely GREAT! Design is better than 1040, in my opinion, but it's very personal. Cons Battery life. I have to charge it weekly instead of monthly with 1040 Solar 1050 is a slightly heavier. Overall, it’s a great bike GPS. I will keep it.
The clarity the higher resolution is a plus but the spacing is a huge issue and needs to be fixed. I will include a 1040 solar pic vs the 1050. Please fix this Garmin
