“Great cycling computer, bright screen, fast, accurate GPS and packed with features. A bit expensive and heavy, but excellent for serious road cycling”
“Why did I wait so long to upgrade my old Garmin to this Garmin 1050?
I simply LOVE it!!!!
The graphics are super-clear and it is so easy to switch between the screens.
If you're sitting on the fence about whether to upgrade to the 1050, do yourself a favour and DO IT!!!
I'm so happy I finally got around to doing it.
Thank you Garmin, and thank you 99 Bikes”
“Very happy with this computer.
Pos: Navigation is great, handling is great.
Neg: While riding you cant use fingers for zooming, battery could last longer.”
“I have had a series of Garmin hand held GPS units. Although they served their purposes, the two major shortcomings were battery life and daylight visibility. The Edge 1050 seems to have addressed both of these issues very efficiently. I had done several rides with the Edge and the daylight visibility was superb and battery life even better than I had hoped. I will soon be taking 38 riders to cycle across France and the Garmin Edge 1050 will be our main navigational tool.”
“The best aspect is being able to increase the size of text displayed. A real bonus for map reading for the more mature rider. I could do without the automatic display whenever you start on an uphill section that has been ridden frequently. The word CLIMB appears in very large font and then disappears to be replaced by an elevation chart showing the gradients and where you are on a climb. Intimidating.”
“Very happy with my Garmin 1050. Performs well and fits in with my style of cycling. Fast uploads, great screen graphics. Helps visualise performance live whilst riding.”
