Easy To Use, Touch Screen Is The Bomb

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. : (

Great But Big

Pros: 1. Screen is a good size for people that want more info or eyes aren't as good as they were. 2. Touch screen is very responsive. I had held back using a touch screen before as I live in Florida and thought my abundant sweat would make them tough to use. So far I have had no issues swiping and touching over the past few summer months. 3. Very intuitive. I can find most stuff quickly without reading the manual. Cons: 1. The bezel is excessively large. In today's "no bezel" world for all displays (TVs, Computers, Phones), there is no need for such large bezels. The perfect screen for me would be just the visible screen and no bezel. 2. Weight. I am sure there was a lot of battery added to make it have the batter life it has. I am also sure many people need 20+ hours of battery, but I would much rather have a less weight along with smaller bezels. 3. There are a LOT of warnings and messages that pop up. Not sure I need that much info, and quite frankly, my vision at my age no longer allows me to see them well anyway. 4. Getting the custom short name I wanted to populate on my phone was a pain...and it did require Googling to figure it out. Not really specific to the 1050, but Garmin. In short, I would make changes to size and weight if I could, while keep the visible screen the same size. But I am keeping until such time as that happens, hopefully, in the future.

The Goat Of Bike Computers!

I purchased the 1050 about 6 months ago and it is the best! Easy to set up, navigate through, scenes, controls your music with ease. Oh and it has a bell, which I thought was dumb at first but it is extremely useful.

Ok Product But Lots Of Bugs!

I had the Edge 1040 and upgraded to the 1050; the upgrade process was terrible, none of my activity profiles or sensors transferred over. I had to recreate everything from scratch, it took hours. I really like Climbpro, worked great on my 1040, I can’t get it to work on free rides. Sensors keep dropping and have to be re-added. My Varia RCT 515 keeps dropping and doesn’t stay lighted. My software on all devices are up to date. I wish I never switched from the Edge 1040 that had none of these issues and always worked perfectly.

Incredible Piece Of Work.

I've been using now for about a 2 months now and I couldn't be happier. The battery life the screen coloring and all the data it offers. Just an unbelievable device to add to your training program.
