Mostly great except...

I've used this for my rides the past 2 weeks. I'm really impressed with the graphics and the ability to customize my screens. However, 2 things really bother me. First, at times the current speed jumps around significantly (between 1 and 2 mph) despite me keeping a consistent cadence. Second, the grade is terrible...says I'm going down when I'm going up and vice versa. I've seen much less expensive head units from other manufacturers with grade readings that not only work correctly, but are accurate to tenths of a degree. Garmin really disappoints on this, and although users have been reporting the grade problems for a long time, Garmin has not addressed it.

Great upgrade

Upgraded from a 1040 that was 7 years old and had experienced the dreaded “battery expansion”. This device is very responsive, has a really crisp display, great sound features and has been a great upgrade.

Much better battery life, the climb pro is really an excellent feature and the maps seem to respond much more quickly. Also love the bigger color screen. Only problems found so far is that the Dexcom integration does not work despite hours of trying everything I can find if the display get wet that all sorts of bad things happen such as fields move around or new screens and setting appear and will no go away unless I turn it off and back on.

Used this product on a 4 day, 326 mile bike packing trip with friends. Group ride work with other Garmin Edge devices. I was very concerned about battery life, especially on the 100 mile day, however had zero issues. I did charge every night. Pre loaded the map and used this device as primary navigation. Only issue was near tall buildings in very large city with tall buildings, but it quickly corrected itself. Many features I love to include touch screen.

Don’t add sensors
on August 16, 2025
Posted by: Rebecca H
This device is too complicated if you want to add any sensors. I took it to a Trek bike shop for them to install and setup. They said it was very hard to pair the sensors to the device. It doesn’t really work plus I can’t shut the device off because the timer is in progress. So that has rendered this device useless. They can’t figure out how to turn the timer off. Garmin chat doesn’t respond so I’m going to have to waste my time and call Garmin. Don’t waste your money on the Edge 1050.

The unit works well little confusing and sometimes hard to work. Ran into stopping a ride I was doing for MS and it just would not stop. Have up for a few days finally got it to stop recording.
