Actually a 4.7

Solid Bike computer. But… can’t change the chime on my drink reminder. As it is now, it is just not sharp (loud) enough to hear especially at higher speeds. Would be nice to have a more noticeable sound, or the ability to choose from several.

Big improvement!
on January 22, 2025

I had a1040 solar that was great. However, 1/2 of any ride, the screen was invisible. Glare or shadow rendered the screen unreadable. The 1050 offers far more visibility. Is it perfect? No. The hazard warnings are too small to read unless you are 22 years old. If there is a way to increase the size of the pop up warnings, I haven’t found it yet.

I can hear it!!!

Posted by: tjdog800
I’ve used a 1040 for over a year and had to pair a headset with the radar unit to hear traffic warnings and get turn-by-turn queues due to my aged ears.
The 1050 is plenty loud and I no longer need the headset! The additional details provided on the data pages is an unexpected bonus!
Thanks Garmin!

Looks great

I got it for Christmas. I have only used it once. I had the Edge 1000 that I passed on to my son. Had to make a few adjustments and still learning features. Doing segments are different looking and the format also. Just takes getting used to.

Best cycling computer I've owned
on January 16, 2025

The brighter screen is a welcome update that sets the Edge 1050 apart from all the others. The screen is clearly visible in all lighting conditions, which can't be said for it's predecessors or competiton. The addion of the speaker allows unique audio prompts for upcomming left or right turns when using navigation, and the electronic bell sounds authentic. Updates to the screen layout and user interface make using the farious features and options intuitive.
This update from Garmin sets the Edge 1050 as my recommended cycling computer!

Excellent gradient response.

My previous device was the Edge 1030+. My only complaint was its very slow gradient change response. The 1050 has a much faster response. Over all it is a terrific device. I’m a very satisfied customer

Great display, fast pairing
on January 9, 2025
Posted by: Ronk
I’ve found everything from the product reviews I’ve seen on the 1050 to be true. The display is great, it pairs quickly. I like that it provides climb data even if you don’t have a route loaded. Battery life is good but it may not be the best device for extreme bikepacking where you’re off off grid for multiple days.
