Bright and high resolution display Fast processor Big without feeling massive 20-hour battery life (60 hours in battery saver mode) Integrated bell is actually useful Real speaker that gives nuance to notifications Garmin Pay Replaceable mount tabs WiFi Map Manager Lack of colored data fields You have to think about battery life Group ride features aren’t useful Hazard alerts aren’t useful The Garmin Edge 1050 came out in June 2024 and I’ve been using it since the day it launched. After all this time, I am revisiting a device that might be the best bike computer available today.
