It Earned Its Last Star!
Edit: Nealy all of the below complaints have been addressed in 10.19. I’ve updated my rating to five stars. This computer is the best of the best. I’ve had time to use the navigation, WiFi sync, and more. Great purchase for anyone who rides daily!This is supposed to be the best of the best. And from what I can tell, it will be. However, as it stands on software version 10.18, the device is having a lot of annoying issues. None critical, but all very pesky. And I’m not alone. Many folks on the Garmin forums seem to have the same problems.The most disruptive issue is the computer’s failure to sync rides to Connect. Can’t sync over Bluetooth, WiFi, or USB-C to either my phone or laptop. However, I can see the rides when I look in the history on the device itself. Ugh.The next issue is that the computer likes to crash. Like–a lot. Whenever I get off the bike and go to save a ride, it takes 1-3 OS crashes for the data to successfully save. Again, not critical as the data does get retained, but insanely annoying on a $700 cyclo.The device also refuses to give me an accurate odometer reading on my main profile: road. I’ve recorded 4, 20 mile rides on my 1050 thus far and the total miles quoted on the home screen is 147 miles. It also reports inconsistent data when asked how many rides I’ve ever taken. Sometimes it says 7, others it quotes the proper 4.All this being said, I understand this is a new product for Garmin. It does do a lot very well. The sensor network it forms is incredibly stable. It connects to my Di2, Varia lights, and HRM extremely consistently. Everything waits in standby till its ready to ride. Then everything automatically comes to life.The data visualizations when riding are also first class. There are a series of “graphical” data fields you can add to your screens enabled by the LCD display. All of which look fantastic and add functional utility over their standard counterparts. For example, I’ve enjoyed using the heart rate graph. It shows a 60-second running history of my rate complete with a color code indicating zone. Very posh.All in all, I recommend this little gadget. It’s very well-built, has the most comprehensive feature list in class, and has the potential to become the top dog. Will always be hard to swallow the price, though.

Garmin Edge 1050 — Premium, Smart, and Almost Perfect
Let me guess — you’re here wondering: Is the Edge 1050 really worth the price? Or should you just grab the discounted 1040? Maybe even switch to Wahoo?I’ve owned the Edge 1040. I’ve used Wahoo. And now, after spending serious saddle time with the 1050, I can tell you: yes, it’s worth it — if you care about training, smart integrations, and ecosystem-level polish.What makes it great:• Training profiles & customizable screens are superb. I set up my music controls on one screen, and just below them — heart rate, distance, and ride time. It’s intuitive, quick, and clean.• If you run Shimano Di2, this thing reads battery level, active gear, and even lets you map Di2 buttons to functions. That’s pro-grade stuff.• It has a tap-to-ring bike bell. I’m not joking. A real, polite digital ding on tap. Never thought I’d love that so much.• It connects with radar and smart lights. You can control them right from the head unit. Yes — it’s a cycling ecosystem now.• It syncs with Apple Health, which matters if you track your fitness holistically.Where it falls short:For the price, I expected smarter navigation. You can’t just type “Starbucks” or “public restroom” like on a phone. You need the exact address — like it’s 2005. Garmin makes GPS devices for a living. This is a miss.If you want a smartphone-like experience, Hammerhead is the way to go — but you’ll lose Apple Health integration and the deep Garmin ecosystem.⸻Verdict: If you want the best cycling computer in terms of ecosystem, reliability, and training features, the Edge 1050 delivers. It’s expensive, yes. But if you’re serious about riding, it’s an investment that feels right every time you clip in.

Bright display, long battery life, highly customisable
I don’t usually splurge on cycling gadgets—this computer actually costs more than some of my bikes—so I was hesitant at first. For over a decade, I’ve relied on Strava on my phone, but I wanted a more data-rich, dedicated solution. After reading countless reviews, I decided to give Garmin’s flagship unit a try.First Impressions & SetupThe Edge 1050 arrived well-packaged and was quick to set up. Pairing with the Garmin Connect app and my Varia radar/taillight was seamless. On my first ride, I used the default settings and quickly realized a few tweaks were needed. It beeped constantly—every time a hazard or vehicle was detected, or when I stopped for a break. While some may appreciate the audible alerts, I found them excessive and turned them off after the first ride.Connectivity & SensorsSensor pairing is simple. In addition to my Varia, it connected easily to my Wahoo speed and cadence sensors. I don’t have a dedicated heart rate monitor, but it paired with my Amazfit watch and used that data without issue.App IntegrationSyncing with apps like ROUVY, Ride With GPS, and Strava was straightforward. Occasionally, Strava data takes a minute or two to update post-ride, but it’s consistent and reliable.Navigation & PerformanceDownloading routes to the device is easy, and navigation worked flawlessly—even during a 105-mile ride through remote, off-grid areas. The battery life is stellar: after a 10+ hour ride using navigation at full brightness, I still had 58% remaining.Display & UsabilityThe screen is bright, clear, and readable in all conditions. Some reviewers think it’s too large, but I appreciate the size—much smaller than a phone, yet just as easy to read. The touchscreen is responsive, even with damp full-finger gloves.Customization & ProfilesThe Edge 1050 offers a wide range of ride profiles, each highly customizable. You can choose exactly what data to display and leave out what you don’t need. It takes a bit of setup, but online tutorials help, and once configured, it’s a very intuitive device for daily use.Final ThoughtsThe Garmin Edge 1050 isn’t cheap, but it delivers a premium experience. If you’re looking for a powerful, feature-rich cycling computer that goes well beyond the basics, it’s worth the investment.
