Garmin Edge 1050 Premium GPS Bike Computer

Absolutely love the new Garmin 1050! The large screen and easy-to-read text make it super user-friendly, even in bright light. Battery life is solid—even without battery saver mode, it lasts a long time. The digital bell is hands-down my favorite feature—makes me feel like a kid again every time I use it! Another big plus is how well it connects with Garmin Connect—you get daily training suggestions sent right to the device. You can even pair it with your Garmin watch for a fully connected training experience. If you’re thinking about upgrading, stop thinking and go for it. You won’t regret it!

Pros: - The screen and battery life are amazing! - The unit is very responsive. (minus in the navigation map) Cons/ Concerns: - You don't see that the battery calls for 100% when charging, mine shows a maximum of 99%. - Some voice commands sound distorted or like the speaker is damaged, and this is not at 100% volume. - My device will not continue to download the topo map in sleep mode, as the unit claims to be able to do. So I had to leave the device for 5 hours ON to download the file. - Navigation Map is slow and lags, even with most map features turned off.

Purchased this last month while on vacation, after forgetting my 1040 at home. What a step up in speed and ease of use. This device provides fast, accurate data and is highly responsive to use. Zero lag and integrates seamlessly with the collection of devices I already have. Wonderful upgrade!

The 2nd time out, my mount broke (aftermarket) and rolled down the street, falling off at 14mph. The case and screen protector stopped the scratches and the computer still worked fine afterwards. I have since replaced the mount. Computer is "Durable".

great unit I have the radar also , when i send the unit a set bike route i love the turn by turn instructions and with the radar option i get warnings long before i see a car behind me . love that i can program my screens to what i want to see

Very easy to read day or night. Battery is great. Menus make sense. Dumped my Karoo 3 after using this. When comparing , nobody is even in the same ball park here .

I bought this about a month ago for a bikepacking trip.. I’m coming from a 540 and my vision is not what it used to be..love the size of the font etc..love the touch screen and ease of the features.. transferring maps are so easy as well.. I’m not a super techy person but so far everything is very easy to navigate..

Upgraded from an 830 that had lived a long, hard life and was ready for retirement. With the 1050's display, I now use it as intended and not just as an odometer. The touch screen is sensitive and functional even when wearing full-finger gloves. Now, I spend less time head down trying to see display. A simple glance and I've able to see the information I want. Simple swipes take me through the various pages, maps and elevation profiles. The old 830 frequently had trouble pairing with my Varia lights and radar to form the light network. Nothing more distracting and annoying than getting repeated "forming light network" and "radar disconnected" alerts while trying to stay focused on the ride. The 1050 pairs and forms the network immediately. There are so many other beneficial functions to the 1050 over my older 830. I'd recommend the Edge 1050 for all riders.

I got this to replace my 830 because the battery was no longer running long enough on a charge. The screen brightness is incredible! So far, everything is working as expected.

First ride, screen locked after 3:34. Cannot unlock

Im new to the Garmin bike computer eco system but so far its been a powerful tool as a motivator and training partner.

Doesn’t do much than an exercise app and a iPhone can do.

A well thought out product! I bought it a month ago and still I am discovering new features that are enhancing my experience!

No more black screen and trying to block the sun to see the screen. I carry a block battery to charge devices on long rides. A recent 10 hour ride required no additional power. Thats a huge deal to not need back up power for navigation. This is my favorite navigation device from garmin.

Been using this device since release, love it. Everything is pretty accurate and I love the New User Interface. There are must have suggestions that needs releasing asap 1. I should be able to look up a route on my phone ans have the option to send to device and garmin be one of those device. This will make for quick route uploading to device. 2. Must have insta 360 device control add on. Should be able to start and stop camera recoding and photos.

Garmin always makes a great product and this is one! The screen is amazing and the updates are worth it!

I've used this for about 500 miles in the last 2 weeks and it is night and day better than my 1030 was! The display is amazing and the battery has lasted forever. I keep the screen on all the time and after 300 miles it was on about 26%: my 1030 would have never lasted that long. Tons of great features and well worth the money.

GPS works because it shows my location on the map just fine. But no speed and no distance is shown/tracked. Super-weird. Device has latest firmware installed. Paired with an Enduro 3 for HR tracking (but also tried cycling with Enduro off and same issue.)

I think I love my first ride computer, Edge 1050, but every time I’m trying to start or end a ride and in motion/a rush it’s prompting me for another update!!! Does it prompt me to update when I’ve sat down with the device & have reading glasses on? Ofc not! Try to start a ride… another update prompt.

It is doing everything I need it to do, really like battery life, visibility of screen is awesome ,ability to adjust data fields on different screens is great.
