Dang you did an amazing job giving us the details and decision making ability. I'm down! Do you know of a release date?

Karoo 3 or 1050?

Price is wild. I'll just manually add it 😆😔

Amazing review as always Des, please can you explain what all the Sapphire and Titanium mean? Is sapphire the strongest glass / screen to have? And Titanium is the bezel right? Is that stronger more scratch resistant? Thanks so much

Just made the switch from the Apple watch to the 165. Your review was very well done and very helpful, Thank you

Is it possible to do a tutorial on screen recording? Could be a replacement for VIRB edit. I only seem to be able to get Wahoo to work. Thanks

cyclists are better served by technology (especially for training & performance) than any other athletes. yet they’re forever whining. only in the matter of cost are they badly served.

That price! As long as people keep dishing out insane money for this, th eprice will just keep on increasing. That's a high end smartphone and very decent laptop-money.

The bell is a genius touch.

I've got SRAM rival hence no "hidden" buttons. Would you recommend using Garmin edge remote control or SRAM blips? 🤔

Ahh yes, that lag at 5:46 on the 1040. Still ridiculous for that money.

DesFit carries everybody’s phones with him on rides, what a gentleman 😅

Any word on any new cheaper garmin units, 550, 850

That screen, any chance to get a Forerunner with it?

Good luck finding that plastic mount in Europe, i broke one and Garmin Poland don't give a f... :D alliexpress came to help, and slovakian mtbiker, if this shop didn't have that I would be left on my new broken 840 helpless...

Too big to carry. I have Instinct 2s solar. It has all main features and including Garmin pay.

How long will Garmin continue using 90's UI? The worst of all is that each device has a different interface. How difficult is it to be able to make a good UI like android? Make it universal for all devices and make the difference lie in hardware. Terrible design, overpriced, and silly improvements like adding a speaker and doorbell. At speed you won't hear anything.

I would give 10 for this product

Looks like an expensive tech demo if honest. That said, the tech may be useful in the future when everyone will be wearing VR glasses (not headsets) and riding in similar environments alongside each other. You can't beat that for immersion. I have an example on my channel of a Zwift like VR app using a smart bike (dynamic resistance). Immersion is unbelievable, but the mass market won't tolerate headset sweat factor.

So I picked up the 1050 and found that the remote will not stay connected to it, so I wouldn't recommend it for the bell. One out of 20 presses it will work and trigger the bell, but it isn't really useable, as it flashes red most of the time. The edge 1000 is the last device the remote would actually stay connected to - it never stayed connected to the 1030, 1040, 1050.

The screen is still the same size, That's poor. More screen has been the call for a long time.

Unrelated but I'm super curious if we'll see the Instinct 3 by the end of this month.

At this point, why not make the software into a phone app? The phones will need design to deal with vibration, support Ant+, and maybe ride mode to max battery.

When fenix 8 guys?

Have a AW Series 5 and was going to upgrade for WatchOS11 but seeing that Strength Training was not part of the workouts theyre going to focus on. I guess i wont haha

Dude, do you booked the wrong date or something?? I thought Garmin doesn't meant to launch it today, am i wrong?

Apart from the screen, the bell seems to be the most devastating upgrade

Might as well mount my laptop on there. Jessus, that thing is huge.

I hoped they will change the submenu hidden feature logic 4:31 and also the look of the thin line and black arrow 4:12 to follow the route can be now individualized and more highlighted. I waited a long time and changed from 1030 to a Karoo2 and I am big fan of the more simple logic and the big yellow line. Nevertheless I miss the map but thats not enough to change back. ....but hardware and display looks great! Thanks!

I love the menus and layout on this new head unit, and of course the very clear and bright screen. Is it worth paying all that extra money for? Probably not but isn't that very often the case with the newest tech, that if you want the latest little perks and extras you of course have to pay for them. Personally I prefer the smaller units, so e.g. 840 over 1040, and will not consider upgrading until a 850 (if that will ever happen) hits the market.

THE UI LOOKS TERRIBLE! I was so excited to buy this but I'm not anymore.😢

🔔 I’m here for *THE BELL* 😂

Is the product cycle every 2 yrs now?

Stupid call to move the mount on the back. People that buy this expensive devices will also have integrated handlebars with mounts that fit the 1040. the 1050 may be a problem on mounts. Also the fact that the mount is not metal anymore is a step back imho. The screen on the 1050 is beautiful but the battery life is not good comparing it to the 1040. I wonder if the 1040 is a good upgrade for the 1040. a bell is a nice feature but why didn't Garmin make a small led front light blinker in the device so that people can see you riding.

I've noticed my 1030+ seems slower after the last update, i do hope garmin aren't doing an apple tactic with their older devices and slowing them down

I'm still using a refurbished Edge 530 I got years ago 😂 Some of these new features are very enticing but I'm so set in my routine at this point I'd probably never use them. Also, I'm probably not the target market for a flagship computer anyway considering I've never even used the routes feature of my current device! 😂

Wonder can I use my Edge remote to ring the bell ??, Thanks for the vid Des

Actually a little disappointed here. I waited years for Solar on the 1040. I frequently run workouts and navigation concurrently, and I only have to charge the thing every few weeks - mainly from indoor use. This is the first release that I will skip from Garmin in a decade... It's strange that they would walk back such a clutch feature on their flagship. The new features, UI, and display are definitely nice, but the practical use cases for those don't outweigh the losses for me in the 1040 Solar.

Welp, just bought a 840 this saturday :(

Higher res screen is nice, but the battery life is way worse than my 1040 solar

Basically it's becoming a smartphone

Still using my 200 € Samsung A12 (10% battery drain per hour) and komoot. I do not need more. These prices are insane, but there are apparently enough people to buy these nice toys.

I'm not going to upgrade as I appreciate the solar of the 1040 but the speaker is handy

1000$ Garmin when? In 5 years ?

Could you make a video about how unified training status works? I don't understand how my fenix and edge communicate and Garmin's lack of clarity on it is incredibly frustrating.

These things are way too big.

I currently have the 1030 and thinking time to upgrade. Is the feeble 1030 tone from the Varia radar improved with the 1050's speaker? Currently I solved with iPhone Varia app and iPods but nice to be able to simply hear the 1050 over normal background noise

I hope people don't report potholes where I live. It will become impossible to read the map with all those hazard icons :D

This is for the Rouvy rider, but I’d love to see an IndieVelo integration with this. Graphics and immersion of this platform with the racing of IndieVelo would be amazing

My shokz turn off with 20% power how to stop that I want it to turn off at zero % and the warning to "charge me" every minute turned off as well.
