Reviews
The unit has a generously sized screen with well-marked street names. It is very easy to load routes from a service such as Ride with GPS, a task that was very complicated previously. It paired seamlessly with the Varia radar and headlight. The audio prompts for turns and cautions are very helpful, and can be made quite loud in the �Settings.� The bell is surprisingly loud and, let�s face it, cool. Also, it has worked flawlessly in driving rain.
Now the bad�
The screen surface is virtually invisible in bright sunlight. There does not appear to be any anti-glare or matte coating. Changing the display or data screens is very complicated and not at all intuitive. If you plug the unit in to charge it, it turns the unit on and you have to turn it off manually. Finally, switching from screen to screen by swiping left to right or right to left can be tricky, especially if there are gloves involved, if you�re sweating or if it�s raining.
Still and all, I don�t regret the purchase. Paired with my Connect account with no problem and works fine while on Zwift, too.
I started out many years ago with the Edge 1030, 1030+, 1040 and now the Edge 1050. All the previous Edge commputers were good but Garmin finally got all the "I wish" items together in one package. What I like most though is now the 1050 has almost real time gradient response, among a host of other improvements. Set up is quick and easy as you can just transfer all your pages from the previous models and away you go. And as I am hard of hearing I really appreciate the louder audio such as when using the 1050 with a Varia Radar taillight. if you are considering an Edge 1050 look up DC Rainmaker's full review.
I like Garmin because I ride four different bikes and am able to set up an individual profile for each bike. Swiping between pages allows me to have maps and information available easily. Also, Garmin offers tech support second to none.
Coming from 830. My eyes are not what it used to be. It was getting a little difficult to see on the 830. I can now see much better on the large and bright screen of the 1050. UI is very responsive. The alert sounds are much more pleasant. No more beeps and chirps. I little pricy but it's a nice upgrade.
Being an early adopter always has its drawbacks, be weary of fit issues on one piece bar and stem combos, as well as out front mounts. Device is great but new UI takes some getting used to. Touch sensitivity is good, display is amazing, and unit is fast and responsive. Good but not great.
