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.
