Problems with Windfield IQ app and Segments
on August 8, 2024
Posted by: Desertdoug
I have owned pretty well every high end Garmin computer over the last 15 years or so, and I find the 1050 a little “So So”.
I had the Connect IQ app Windfield on my Garmin 1040, and it worked well. When I configured the 1050, the Windfield app has NEVER worked. I have had several emails with the developer, and he keeps telling me I need a Firmware upgrade on the 1050. I have looked in the Connect IQ app on my phone, and there is a link to upgrade the firmware, but it is corrupt and goes no where.
Live Segments seems to be Hit or Miss, sometimes they work and sometimes not. The Segments Widget rarely works and only seems to show segments after I get home and connect the Garmin to the computer to download and charge.
Other than that, everything else works great.

Absolutely love the 1050.
I was concerned it would fit the most mount on my bike. Turns out it did.

Helpful new features!
on August 8, 2024
Posted by: Mastrok
I've used some of the new features already which are great. The bell is very loud and helpful when on a trail. The reason for the 4 star rating is because this unit is slightly longer than the 1030 Plus and I have an integrated out-front mount for my flat handlebars and this unit has a very tight squeeze to get on and has scratched the decal. Just keep the length in mind when purchasing. Other than that, it's a great computer and I'm looking forward to using more of these new features!

I love Garmin products and have an Epic Gen 2 watch for triathlons. Just got the 1050 and wow!! Love all the extra features including the bell when I'm riding on a bike path. Great screen and great battery life!!!

Edge 1050 Absolutely Amazing
on August 8, 2024
Posted by: Duger
I have used this Garmin Edge 1050 now for about a month and love everything about it from my previous Garmin Edge 1040. Out of the box it was easy to setup and charge. The color display if vivid day/night. I also purchased the protective case which made it a bit to long for my Aero bar mount but was able to add my light under the Garmin Edge 1050 and no problems. The audio prompts are a nice upgrade as well. My one issue is that I wish they would change the charging to magnetic.

Great Cycling Computer

Upgraded from the 830. The 1050 has a way better screen and the battery life has been much improved. The new UI adds a lot to the experience as well.

Large and clear screen
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: jheggen
My old eyes love the large and clear screen. I am so impressed with the ease of setup when it migrated all my profiles and sensors from my older head unit. I also have enjoyed the climb pro feature and on the fly navigation which functions just like my map app on the phone. But it’s the electronic bell that tops it off. I like it so much I talked my friend’s wife into getting one for his birthday!
