Unbelievable!!!!!!!

This device is AMAZING!!!! Such an improvement over my 1030, which I also loved. At 66 years old, I love the brighter screen and I don’t have to struggle at all to see it!!! I love all the stats that you get from this device and how quickly it reacts to touch and using the buttons….. The only issue that I do have is that when warnings come up from other bikers they are very small and I can’t make out what the actual warning is !!! I am sure that his issue will be corrected by Garmin and will soon no longer be an issue
Thank You, Garmin for a great product!!!!

I bought my Garmin 1050 3 weeks ago and love it. It has loud speaker in it so i can here a car coming using my Varia with it. It is very bright and i can read all my stats clearly. It has so many options . You can move the settings and options on the fly if you want to change things. Just starting to learn navigation but it has a ton of options, Best Garmin ever made amazing technology.

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.

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.

OUTSTANDING DEVICE

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.

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.
