Great display, fast pairing
I’ve found everything from the product reviews I’ve seen on the 1050 to be true. The display is great, it pairs quickly. I like that it provides climb data even if you don’t have a route loaded. Battery life is good but it may not be the best device for extreme bikepacking where you’re off off grid for multiple days.

Mostly excellent
The 1050 is definitely the most capable and fully featured GPS bike computer available currently. After trying a Karoo 3, the 1050 has many many more features, is more flexible and customizable in terms of screen layouts and data available (especially with ConnectIQ apps), has a bright and beautiful screen and a responsive touchscreen, and generally works very well. Top units form Wahoo and Hammerhead can’t touch the 1050 for feature richness, mapping quality, or user customization. A few minor annoyances that Garmin will, hopefully, fix at some point: 1) Virtual Partner is an annoying and confusing feature that no one I know likes. It can’t be turned off, which is frankly absurd. Everything else on this device is user-selectable, let us turn this off! 2) Maps are not terribly readable. A purple navigation line on a map with popularity indicated by shades of purple just doesn’t pop. Allowing the user to select the color of the navigation line (e.g. red or yellow, as Karoo uses) and potentially making that line thicker, would help a lot. 3) Others have noted it, but the “upcoming elevation” trace, especially on the map screen, is a bit of a random number generator and therefore not that useful. Adding scale, and letting the user program that scale to show upcoming 100/500/1000M etc. would make it much more useful. 4) The unit does a LOT of stuff, and ships with most of its alarms and notifications turned on by default. Not a negative necessarily, but plan to spend some time learning about these and turning off stuff you don’t want/need. More customization of audio alerts would also be nice, e.g. ability to have an audible eat/drink alert but not audio turn alerts. Currently these and many other alerts turn off/on together.

Great features hard to connect with Apple
It’s challenging to connect but once everything is working it works out. I think to improve it you should be able to sync a heart rate to Garmin edge easily with Apple watch

Excellent
Tremendous upgrade from the edge 1000. Purchased with new Trek bike. Well worth every penny.

Great Display
I have the 1030, 1040 and 1050. The 1030 was fine but had a few software issues and crashes. The 1040 offered a better display, more features easier pairing and never crashed. The display on the 1050 is a big step up, the new hazard indications are nice as our some of the new screen layouts and the audio is a lot better.

Awesome large and bright screen!
I've only had a few rides so far due to weather but so far I love it. Love the bright visibility of the screen. Only had one ride not record properly, still not sure what happened but all good now!

Great Display
I purchased my Edge 1050 about 3 weeks ago. I’ve owned several Garmin Edge computers in the past and this is easily the best. I love the bright display and design. Battery life is really good. The music interface is one of my favorite features! Negatives for me include not find a way to sync my heart rate from my Apple Ultra Watch (I gave up and purchased a heart rate monitor strap I didn’t want), Strava segment set-up took too long to figure out and the unit is really expensive.

So far so good
I bought a 1040 and sent it back because it didn’t have volume control and some other features so I sent it back and got the 1050. This really out performs my old 1030. I just wish there was a hands on class to show you how to use all the new features.
