Always a Garmin user

This is my third Garmin cycling computer, I Imy last was the 810 and the power button had a rubber boot covering it and it wore off. Garmin gave me a 20% of a new product to replace it. The 1050 is nice I lite the size an the display and navigate through the screens is nice. The buttons are more protected than my old one. I have about 12 rides now and I really enjoy it.

Should have been named Edge 2000

The 1050 is improved so far and beyond the 1030 that It’s misleading to call this model the 1050. This is orders of magnitude better in so many ways should’ve been the Edge 2000. Seriously, Garmin clearly listened to everyone’s complaints. I’m stunned at how good it is. Exceeded all expectations

Great Disappointment

2 PCs and 2 different Apple computers wouldn’t recognize the device as connected so I couldn’t update it out of the box. Not acceptable

1050

great functionality, all the data I could want. I'm still learning how to best use all of the features. The only knock is that I am not particularly tech savvy so some of the flow from screen to screen is not intuitive for me. I've had various cycle computers over the last 50 years. The evolution has been amazing to watch. I shopped around quite a bit before I purchased. I'd recommend anyone looking for this type of product to do the same just to make sure they need all of the abundant features.

Great unit but if you have a 1030 or 1040, keep it

The display is brighter and clearer and there is a bell, but not functionally enough better than the 1030 or 1040 to justify the expensive price.

This is awesome unit it has all the bells and whistles
coming from a 810 big difference. I just wish the start and lap buttons was on top like the 810.
the battery is perfect for myself who always charges it before a big ride
Happy riding

Edge 1050

As a Randonneur I have a specific criteria for a bike computer covering rides from 200 to 1500 kilometers So here is my review
Likes
I like the big numbers, I’m in my 60’s so having such a large display is great.
It pairs easily with everything so that’s good.
Can load big route files Handles 600 kilometers no problem.
Don’t like
Pain in the area you sit on loading maps, just copy the wahoo system,
Battery low level comes on at 35% thatsstill6 hours battery left. It also pauses the ride which is a pain as the computer is so big I have to rotate it to get at the bottom button. Not very well thought out design.
I wish there was a way to unit control my radar. I set it to flash to save battery but when I stop it turns it on to full brightness all the time waisting the radar battery.
Real hard to get things like control points on the map. No idea why this is so complicated
For a mapping company you’re pretty rubbish at map stuff.
