Garmin Edge 1050 Premium GPS Bike Computer

During the dark and cold period I have riding only indoors with my roughly month ole 1050 and it is a great additional resource to collect data and get feedback. Excellent device for this purpose, too!

Love the new 1050, beautiful easy to see screen, perfect size, great product and intuitive.

This new edge is very easy to sync and utilize the various functions. I am not a tech oriented and found it user friendly.

Very comprehensive and bright snd easy to read. Visibility was my main criterium. Large learning curve, but the more I use it, the easier it gets to find what I’m looking for in the many menus. Start up works pretty well and connections are smooth EXCEPT WHY WON’T GARMIN CONNECT WITH APPLE WATCH HEART RATE!!!! It is so annoying to have to wear a separate arm band just to get my heart rate into the 1050. After all it does connect to my iphone seamlessly and Apple heart rate connects to all the other apps I use. I compared readings between apple watch hr and Garmin from an arm band over a 15 mile ride and they were always within 1 beat of each other, sometimes the same. Apple and Garmin are watch competitors, I know. But it almost caused me to NOT buy a Garmin bike computer. Had it not had brightest display/battery time combo, I would have bought a competitor so I could use my Apple watch with it. And connections apps are more trouble than they are worth!

I’ve have the Edge 1050 for almost six months now. I use it for mainly for MTB and indoors during the winter months. The integration with Trail Forks is nearly flawless. In less than a minute or two I can have routes uploaded from the web to Garmin Connect and to the Edge. Or even quicker directly from Trail Forks. I don’t like the search function, so I typically put thought into my route ahead of time. Fork Sight is great when navigating larger trail networks. It gives a lot of stats when paired with the required sensors. My only thought of opportunities is an improved mount. It needs torquing every 2-3 rides and after a few months it went flying after the mount broke. Luckily I had it tethered. The most recent update to include a weather map with wind or precipitation overlays was much needed.

I have had it for a month. I like how it shows graphs while you ride. I have had many Garmin’s and this one is the best

The Edge 1050 is incredible, bringing together all the sensors and providing a ginormous amount of information! The learning curve is fairly steep, and I haven't found great tutorials on how to use all the features yet. There are some basic tutorials on the unit itself, but it's so feature rich that a more in-depth treatment would be valuable. The display is very readable, even for old eyes. I like the electronic bell! The climbing displays are awesome! It's not cheap, but definitely worth the price of admission.

Finally got the 1050 after moving up from the 2011 model. I like all the new data, bigger screen, brightness and pairing it with the Varia is a life changer.

The screen is so bright that i can see it clearly with sunglasses on. Plus the size makes it easy to see all the data. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought the Garmin 1050 after my 1030 mounting tab broke off and I was waiting for a back casing to come in and wasn’t sure if I could fix it, I have had my 1030 for a while and have been very pleased with it so it was a no brainer to get another Garmin and the 1050 is awesome so far, I have only been using it for a couple of weeks will see if it holds up as well as my 1030. The 1030 is fixed so I’ll keep it as a backup.

Bought this to replace my 840. Battery life and brightness are amazing. New UI is nice and the virtual bell is cool.

I was a Wahoo user, and used to love my computer. But to be honest this is in a different level! The UI is so detailed, the screen is so good, the touchscreen is so receptive. The only downhill I see is that, you need to spend a lot of time setting it up in order to get all the info you really want, since have a lot of thing. Is a very light computer, the battery is increadable, I ride several times a week, also unsing it as a base computer for my indoortrainer, and I charge it once a week. Other of the things I love is that it shows up the batery of all my sensors (Garming 1 - Wahoo 0). I will give a 4.5, only becasue the time I need to spend on the set up, but other than that, GREAT JOB GARMIN.

Much brighter & better contrast even when non color screen

The 1050 does everything it's supposed to do in a form that is easy to use and easy to see for people that use reading glasses. Even though it is a very expensive device, my position is that it is well worth the cost.

I bought the Edge 1050 after lots of research and online reading, and I could not be happier with my purchase. The amount of data you can get with this little device is incredible. I love the screen size and colors. As someone who's a little older and usually had to use readers to see things, I love the size of this display. It makes it so much easier on my eyes. I've done daytime and nighttime rides, both road and mountain bike and the 1050 does not disappoint.

Great cycling computer. Performs well on both my road and mountain bike.

I like all the functions and data available, but it doesn't integrate with Garmin workout plans at all. That's one reason I purchased the edge1050

Quick set up and easy to use. Garmin ecosystem works great

So many features the 1050 has...trying to learn to use all of them, slowly getting everything dialed in. What an amazing tool...so happy I finally bought in to Garmin !

I like this so much, I have been looking at the watches; however, I can not find a retailer with any real selection... I have written Garmin for support, yet there has been no response. I have learned that there is little to no human support. : (
