I’ve never anything glitched than this device. I upgraded from an edge 130 and on my first trip I unfortunately experienced a high speed tumble while incident alert was turned on; Garmin didn’t detect it and didn’t notify my contact while I was down in the middle of a street for 10 seconds. Garmin sent me a replacement and I’m sending them my device to look into data. Unfortunately my Garmin varia also didn’t record the event .

The user interface on the device isn’t the greatest. Navigating views, starting a random ride, odd screen behavior when connecting to other devices (speed, cadence, lights, etc). In one instance a blue “buffer” area appeared around the view until I disconnected devices. I haven’t found a good way for it to just record a ride, I just want it to start recording. Overall it’s somewhat overly complex and could benefit from better integration with the companion app. It could also benefit from a larger screen as they jammed a large amount into a small form factor making it difficult to present everything effectively.

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.

Display is bright and easy to read, even in direct sunlight, which makes a big difference on long rides. The maps are highly accurate, and the touch screen is responsive and smooth, with intuitive navigation.Pairing this with the Garmin Varia RTL515 rearview radar is a must. Adds a layer of safety by alerting you to vehicles approaching from behind, it has never failed me.

MUCH better display than my 1030! Many more features and options than I need, but the display is worth the price.

Latest version of the Garmin cycling computer. It is just about perfect. Crisp and clear display, insane battery life, quick charging, loads of features (I have learned about 30% of what it can do), and the navigation software is up-to-the moment accurate! Love this thing! Don’t forget the Varia rear view radar and light!
