Garmin launches "brightest, smartest" cycling computer

Garmin claims new Edge 1050 is "brightest, smartest and most connected cycling computer ever"... but there's less battery life and no solar option

Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales, is quoted as saying: “We are excited to introduce our most capable, high-performing bike computer yet with the Edge 1050. Back to 'traditional' charging methods: Garmin says that the Edge 1050 features"a vivid colour display, enhanced group ride features, built-in speaker, and more - all without sacrificing battery life." Despite these advancements, the Edge 1050 offers up to 20 hours of battery life"in demanding use" and up to 60 hours in battery saver mode.

I'm also interested to know if profiles, sensors & screens can be transferred over from other models, I dare say DCR and/or GPL will have had their hands on one and will be posting a video soon.Garmin pay is almost completely unsupported by banks in the UK, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting used to paying with your computer.
