Worked Great, Until...

I have been using this for 1 week with no issues. Today the 1050 got an update, and it has frozen on me twice on my commute back home from work.

Highly Recommend!!

Incredible upgrade from the Edge 820 I was using. Only complaint is it is big, and on all mounts I've tried, the buttons are tough to access as they're right up against the bars. I would suggest buttons on the sides for future models. My Di2 shifter buttons can perform some of the Garmin button functions for a partial work-around on this. Otherwise, incredibly simple user interface, loaded with new features, brilliant display even in bright sunshine, incredible battery life. Not evident when researching this purchase, is that you CAN use the 1050 to display and control your music from iPhone, which was a great surprise feature for me!

Love It!

I bought about a month ago and I really like it! It does have a huge learning curve and there are things I would change about it but if you are into gps fitness products this is a good one.

1050 Garmin

Garmin Edge 1050: A Bright Idea That Falls Flat (Literally) As a long-time Garmin user, I had high hopes for the Edge 1050, expecting an evolution from the reliable 1030. While it's true that everything works and functions perfectly in terms of its core features, the critical flaw lies in its display – or lack thereof, in real-world conditions. Garmin's decision to switch from the reflective screen of the 1030 to a new display technology on the 1050 is a massive misstep. In direct sunlight, the screen becomes completely unreadable. It's as if they've adopted an "iPhone concept" for the display, leading to the same frustrating inability to see anything when the sun hits it. To make matters worse, there's a baffling "timeout" feature for the backlight that, when triggered in sunlight, plunges the screen into total blackness, rendering it utterly useless. This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a significant safety concern when you can't see your navigation or data. Beyond the screen, the physical design also feels like a downgrade. When the Garmin is laying flat on the computer, it no longer has the crisp, readable angle that the reflective backing of the 1030 provided. This makes an already unreadable screen even harder to glimpse. And finally, at a hefty 161 grams, the 1050 feels like the clunkiest and heaviest object on my bike. In summary, while the underlying functionality of the Edge 1050 is sound, the critical issues with screen visibility in sunlight, the poor viewing angle, and the increased weight make this a disappointing upgrade. Garmin needs to revisit its display technology and design philosophy for outdoor use.
