A very indepth review, Thanks just what we need.

Was contemplating a 1040 to upgrade from my old 1030. I think a 1050 is now on the Christmas list :)

With the hazards feature can you ask they make inclusion for Bird Swooping as it's an issue in Australia. Perhaps better if had free-text addition. Lastly, in respect to weather does it have radar capacity in order to see rain locations etc?

I like it. I see a Karoo 2 replacement in my future. Thank you.

Just finished the video. Great insight into it. I’m on a 1030 Plus and 130 Plus (for racing), but I think I’ll be upgrading to this as my daily

Things have come a long way from the Avocet computer on my first bike. Now there’s more tech on my bike than an F-4 Phantom fighter. BTW, pilots used early off the shelf automotive radar detectors to spot SAM sites. The newest bike in my Service Course has e-tap, Garmin Edge, Varia with camera. My phone and watch track my progress and stats.

1050 looks really awesome to me. It's not like I'm gonna buy it - it cost more than my bike is worth, but I really like the direction of changes. But as cool as it might be, nothing compares to see 2 lamas on their bikes!!!

A great in-depth review. Thanks. I wish they had included a ride share/Taxi feature for the times of an unfixable mechanical or tubeless situation and you need a ride home. I'd prefer not to be tethered to a mobile. It's annoying the new physical configuration may need new out-front mounts and that's added phaff and expense. The shorter battery life and weight are downers but not deal breakers. It's all good progress for a new iteration. I'm just not overly convinced it's worth a must buy/upgrade, especially compared to my Solar 1040.

Yep, 840 for the win

I think it should be clear that solar on a 1050 can't add much energy. I assume the battery of the 1050 is at least as big as in the 1040 if not bigger. With roughly twice the battery consumption the consequences are: if solar adds 25% more battery life to the 1040 then the same solar power will add at most 12,5% battery life to the 1050. I guess this tiny adder is not big enough to be worth any R&D effort and extra costs. So it seems very logical why solar doesn't really make much sense on the 1050.

Great review, I always turn to your reviews first when a new product comes out that I am interested in as I know that your coverage will always be very complete and that you won't pull any punches. I am a long-time 1030+ owner and I was really hoping that the new 1050 would be an excuse to upgrade that I could not walk away from, however, unfortunately, I just cannot see dropping $700 (US) on this device based on what I have seen. The device is indeed impressive and the screen is fantastic (other than the backlight timeout/always on issue, which is a complete miss). It seems a bit curious that with the obvious higher power needs of this device, Garmin did not rollout a solar version at launch. Many of the new features that Garmin are touting just are not of interest to me...I never do group rides and I use navigation maybe once or twice per year at most. If/when I am forced to buy a new device because my current 1030+ either dies or gets broken, this new 1050 is definitely the leader for my next purchase, however, an upgrade before it is actually a need is something that I cannot justify.

22:45 - I really like how the map is rendered on the new E1050: much cleaner (main roads are not overwhelming), hill icons the same. And these unpaved roads - dotted line is much nicer. I wish same rendering algorithm was backported to E1040.

I went from riding 5k miles per year often forgetting to grab my streak of 2km on Zwift each week. And the 1050 looks pretty darned great. Has Garmin gotten better at releasing products in good states in recent years? I still remember ... was it the 820 that gave Shane issues in the heat at release?

I bought the 1040 Solar for battery life, but that screen looks a lot better. I guess I just need to keep playing with the display settings to get the map to be readable when riding. Sometimes I have trouble picking out the turns.

Great review as always! Finally this is an interface and hardware upgrade that makes me want to consider moving off my 1030! With the change in the placement of the mount would you mind sharing the dimension from the Centre of the mount to the base of the unit ?

i want the group ride function....thank you for your video

18:13 I keep wishing Garmin would make the gradient gyro-based. You might have to manually calibrate it every ride (stand bike upright on a marked line and lean it side to side, then turn it around on the line and repeat), but that's definitely something I'm willing to do, especially on a ride with lots of climbing.

the stabilized handlebar footage looks freaky but not in a bad way

I got the 1040 Solar for long multi-day riding, and the new 1050 doesn't appear to have anything that would make me want to upgrade to leave the longer battery life behind. OTOH I love the new 1050 display and the bell is a fun feature. But at the end of the day, battery life is going to overshadow these new features.

How is the workout feature on the new one? Could you create a video overviewing it? Is it the same as the 1030 and 1040? Great video!

They just turfed my 1040 with 21.18, as a garmin fanboy I'm pretty unhappy with how this has happened frequently with the 1040 (updates introducing regressions repeatedly). I'd typically buy this off the bat but the trust has been broken few too many times.

Great video review as always and thanks for producing it. Nice computer but $1200au price tag is probably outside the most cyclists price point especially during these hard economic times. For pros it is a good device but amateurs like me is not necessary. Cheers

I've noticed that route gradient seems to be used for climb pro and route climbs and is different from what you see from the normal gradient field.

I believe the ability to react so fast to gradient changes relies on an internal inclinaison sensor. Changing the inclinaison of the device mount could influence the first estimations (either exagerated or underestimated)

The bell seams like a nice feature, an emergency flashlight on the front would have been welcome. The screen looks a bit better but have the felling that the 1040 could be tweaked to match it close. (map lines / contrast) the lap/stop buttons are still on the bottom would have like to see it being moved to the top (like wahoo ) or side, so I would be able mount it almost flush to the handlebar. My take, I do not see the upgrade, for the bell buy a hide my bell

what is exciting for me is that the 1040 price will go down and I will now be able to get one :-) the only thing that excites me on the 1050 is the bell.

With the heavier weight, the mount location had to be shifted to still be centered. If you have off-center mounts, it'll (rather easily) snap them with higher-weight units like this when you hit sharp bumps (or, a higher weight unit + a GoPro/lights/etc below it). of course, the downside is that it'll make some mounts incompatible.

They should add the speaker bell to the next gen headlight/build it into lamp instead of head unit.

I just bought the 1040 new direct from Garmin for $500

I and probably many others would be interested to know how much space I need (more) on the holder for the 1050🤔 A measurement for the 1030 (my current one), 1040 and 1050 for the minimum distance so that you can also turn it open (and down😉) would be interesting😀 Maybe from the middle of the holder...🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s 7mm difference. See my recent Insta reel with how to measure/test a mount by installing a 1040 or 1030 upside down.

@@gplama Unfortunately, it is always difficult to do. If you don't have a 1040, let alone a 1050😉 Thank you for the effort👍🏼👍🏼

I dont get this except maybe the brighter screen. Hoping they will reduce price on 1040 and 1040 solar. But probably wont be the case . Was this really needed ? Doubts
