Very happy with purchase. I use this for gravel and MTB and it is brighter than my previous 1030 unit. Switching between screens is very quick and touchscreen works well.

Fantastic Bike Computer
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
The 1050 is a phenomenal bike computer. The display is easily the best on the market at the time I am writing this article. Plenty of screen real estate and packed with features. The only drawbacks are the size and the odd decision by Garmin to change the location of the mount on the back of the unit. The size is a personal preference and the trade-off for screen real estate and may not be for everyone. However, it is really helpful when using the navigation feature or if you have a need for a lot of data displayed on a screen. The mount location is the biggest drawback. Garmin placed the mount further towards the top edge of the unit than with previous bike computers like the 840 or 1040. The net effect of this is that the 1050 will not fit on many out-front mounts on many bikes. Many users will either need a mount extension or have to switch styles of mount to go on the stem rather than out-front. Other than that, the unit is fantastic. Battery life, while not as good as the 840/1040 series, is still fantastic and will work for all but the most dedicated ultra distance cyclists.

I've had this a month or so. My only complaint is that you can't adjust the varia radar warning lever. It's either on or off. How about a voice that says "car back"?

This fit what I needed. I upgrade from the GE 530 for the screen size. It is all that and more! There is so much data to gain from the new computers. The battery life has been great too. Switching (pairing) info over from 530 was a breeze. No complaints in that department. However, I wasn't getting text notifications, but wasn't aware that iphones and Garmins don't play well with one another. I watch a lot of videos to help assist me in setting up or finding specific things. For example, Virtual Partner they finish 45 min ahead of me but I can't seem to find where I can change the settings. Since this is one of the newest edges, the 'how to videos' are limited. As we roll into spring here, I will get a chance to play around with it more I am sure some of these issues will be resolve.

Radar warning tone/volume
on March 14, 2025
Posted by: Mark OD
I’m dissatisfied with the tone and volume of the radar warning on the 1050. It’s a soft tone and I’ve already been surprised by several cars because I didn’t hear the warning. Please fix!!!

The unit has issues with received purchased content and unable to load to the unit using Garmin Express and also, several big rides that I recently completed; the fit file gets corrupted and unable to load to Garmin Connect, unable to repair file using tools available on the web and Garmin support unable to fix either issue.
