Easy to figure out. Nice features. I like how you can have 4 screens at your fingertip while riding.

The Best Garmin I’ve Ever Owned

I’ve been a Garmin user for years. I started with the Edge 520, then moved to the 830 (used it for five years and absolutely loved it), but the 1050 is simply next level. The large screen is phenomenal, especially for those of us over 40 who appreciate bigger numbers and better visibility. The high-resolution display makes everything crystal clear and easy to read on the move. I really appreciate the new ability to report road hazards, which is a great feature for the cycling community. The integration with the UT800 light and RTL515 radar is excellent — seamless and reliable, like a true safety ecosystem. I was a bit concerned about the size and weight, but it’s surprisingly light. It reminds me of a blend between a modern high-end BlackBerry and those old-school Garmin Nuvi car GPS units from 20 years ago — in the best possible way. From my days using Garmin in Colombia, now in the U.S., and soon in the U.K., I’ve always trusted Garmin. The ecosystem is solid — I also use the Index S2 scale and a Forerunner 45 (though I’ll admit the Forerunner is a bit underpowered for deeper data syncing in Garmin Connect — that web interface could definitely use a refresh, it’s feeling a bit outdated). Overall: absolutely excellent. Best cycling computer I’ve used.

One Major Flaw

In terms of accuracy and data provided, this is an excellent bike computer. It's also easy to set-up and it's easy to move between the various data screens. There's one major flaw though, at least in my experience. When I ride, I usually wear sunglasses. I wear prescription glasses with transition lenses (aka, photochromic lenses). As previously mentioned, the 1050 has one major flaw though: In some light conditions, the screen of the 1050 is almost impossible to read. This is especially the case when riding into the sun, i.e., when the sunlight is coming from the front of me. In the shade or in darker conditions, the screen is more legible and when riding in the dark, it is much better than any other computers I've had. Still, if you ride mainly in the daylight hours and you wear sunglasses when riding, I cannot recommend this computer to you.

Excellent New Features

I received the 1050 for a birthday gift. I can say I love it better than the 1040 that I had. I do ultra riding so the longer battery life is a plus. The navigation screen is so much easier to few when riding at night. It also very easy to set up and finding something on the device is so much easier. I have to admit, I love the bell (lol) Over all I give it a high rating.

Upgrade Garmin Gps 1000 To 1050

Just upgrade to the new Garmin bike gps 1050 and love it. Simple to use, clearer and brighter screen, simple prompts and great battery life. Hopefully get 10 years out of this one too. Surprised the screen (or useable screen) was not a bit bigger but zoom in and out is much quicker now, so not a big issue.
