Garmin Edge 1050 Premium GPS Bike Computer

So I will start with the caveat, if you have a 1040 especially the solar model it won’t feel like a transformative upgrade. The device does everything aside from battery life a little better than the 1040 solar that I had prior. The battery life isn’t a deal breaker nor is it bad. I’m charging every 300 miles with full functionality. It has no flaws to speak of but aside from the better UI and screen it doesn’t feel like it added anything from the 1040. If you have a 540 it would be a big upgrade and if you have a 30 series or older go for it.

So far, I am not impressed with this device. Seems rain changes how the screen behaves. It would be great if Garmin sensors last longer so I could fully used all features of this device. Is it worthed that much money? I dont know.. But I would be happy to pay less for it

By far the best Garmin Cycling product to date and the God Father of all cycling head units. By a long shot the best colored screen on the market.

The system is both simple and capable of comprehensively addressing all geolocation needs as well as fitness tracking, analysis and planning. Displays can be constructed with a variety of inputs depending upon your particular information requirements

Upgraded from an Edge 1000. The performance stats given during and after the ride has changed my riding. So much more capability that I’m still learning it all. Bigger screen is also nice while riding.

I have been an Edge user for many years. I thoroughly enjoyed the Garmin Edge 1000. Unfortunately, the on/off button disintegrated...Garmin treated me well as a small contemsation - even though it was well out of warranty. I decided to purchase the 1050. WOW! What a significant upgrade. The screen is bright, the audio is terrific, and the various options are excellent. Using the old Alice in Wonderland comparison, I have gone from black and white to full color. Fantastic unit!!!

I didn’t realize what I was missing. My Edge 520 has been my trusted companion for 5 seasons, and it was great, by the 1050 is amazing. Beautiful display, incredible maps, easy to use, and touch screen are some early highlights after inky one month of use. I can wait to learn more and race with it!

I bought my Edge 1050 three weeks ago as a step up from Edge 840. So far I'm really pleased with larger screen. I've enjoyed the audible notifications when followed our passed by a car or bicyclists using my Garmin radar tail light. I wish is allowed me to move my odometer reading from my 840.

I’ve had it about a month weather in New York hasn’t been great but love it so far. One thing I don’t love is using it with my Tacx trainer I like the iPad better.

I had issues downloading the NA map. It took a little over two hours to get it downloaded, but now that it’s done the 1050 is the cat’s meow of GPSs. It has more functions and more options than I thought when I bought it. I’m totally satisfied with the purchase and I wish I’d done it sooner. The ONLY thing about it that I don’t like is my inability to download the total mileage from my previous Garmin or edit the mileage so I can keep a running total on individual bikes.

I got the new unit a few weeks ago. And absolutely love it. I’ve had multiple Edge computers as the technology has evolved and this is top of the line.

Easy to use, best of the best, great screen, everything is very clear

The 1050 has a very bright display and a faster processor than previous models. The bell is very useful and sounds like a real bell. It is easy to use and setup. I've owned many Garmins and the 1050 is the best one yet.

Best edge I’ve had so far, great for any type of cycling

Some people might still like MIP screen. Because of it’s battery life

I bought this about two weeks ago and have used it for seven rides. I'm impressed with the brightness of the display and the speed of the response. I used the Edge 1030 before and was having problems when I had to modify my training rides that I had posted 30 days in advance. Those problems no longer exist!! I love the hazard warnings. In fact, I was riding in the Grand Teton National Park just yesterday and was warned of animals in the area. This is very helpful because of the bear, moose and wolf presense almost everywhere you go in this area of Wyoming. Thank you, Garmin!!

Love the new technology, still learning my way around. SO much you can do with this mightily cycling computer. I had the 1030, this is a big upgrade.

Outstanding integration with Garmin radar and light! I totally enjoy the bell feature with my Project One Madone. Super fun-fun and really user friendly. Garmin has done an excellent job upgrading the technology. Really good with Di options. I am very pleased.

I have been a loyal Garmin customer for years. SO when I bought a super nice road bike, I upgraded to the most expensive garmin there is the 1050. My new bike had cool stuff like an integrated power meter and cadence meter all in the crank arms. I watched pairing videos over and over again. I charged everything up and even did a firmware upgrade. After 30 frustrating hours of troubleshooting, two trips to a Shimano approved bike shop, adding new Apps to my phone, calls to Garmin and Shimano help line, with a so called "simple bluetooth pairing"....... the word is out. Your 1050 has not had a software update to recognize shimano DI 2 power meters and cadence sensors. So I returned it. I bought a wahoo. This one is on you.

I love this thing! Excellent UI, lightning fast, fantastic display & graphics, and extreme battery life.
