Bought this a month ago and have looked forward to every ride. It’s great having the ability to add screens that matter to you. This is even better with the heart rate monitor.
Ive been a Wahooligan for years. I love the Element Roam for its ease of use, but when Iost my device I decide to use my friends Hammerhead Karoo. Too complicated, took too long to start up, and side app development sucked. The Edge 1050 has the ease of use and a lot more. Big screen for my old eyes. The bell is loud and piercing. Great companion on my commute and ride
I finally replaced my 1030+ after 6 years of use. At first I thought it would be a pain to transfer my activity profiles and data from my old unit, but it was seamless. Setting up the 1050 was the easiest setup I have ever done on any device. Plus the features, screen quality and quickness of the 1050 is amazing.
Recently got the new 1050 and so far so good. Still learning all the features it has but the maps are great, used it as if it was google maps on your phone putting in an address and it had me take a proper bike route not just on terrible roads. Battery is much better than I expected as well, but I haven’t gone on an all day adventure ride yet so more to come. But so far I’m thrilled with it.
I love the display, sounds and features, however, it’s not dependable or consistent. I want to just turn it on and go, but oftentimes the various sensors need manual reconnections or recalibrations. Recently, it stopped showing speed and had to be rebooted mid ride. Too many glitches for the cost of this unit. Hopefully, fixes come to us through updates

If your Edge 1050 is commonly experiencing glitches, I recommend calling Garmin Support at 800-800-1020 if anything else doesn't work as expected. From there, you can receive assistance with these concerns. *KC
