Who already has the E1050 and what are the impressions?

I've never had a cycling computer before buying the 1050. I will only use it for, and so far have only used it for road cycling. My first impressions haven't been particularly positive. It does seem like a well built unit, but as another user pointed out the power on button can be a bit finicky. Sometimes I push it and the unit just doesn't turn on, not matter how long or short I press the button. Twice now I've had to plug the unit into a power source and then use the power button to turn it on. I'm not sure what's going on with that but it very concerning that maybe my unit is in some way defective.

Also, I've tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get the sound from the 1050 to play through my earbuds that are connected to me phone. I've opened a separate post in the forums with that issue in case anyone has any suggestions. I expected this to be a no-brainer feature that would work straight away without any finicking but I am still struggling with how to figure this out. Am I the only one who like to ride with earbuds??

The screen brightness during my rides is very good. But again, as another user points out, depending on what direction you are riding, the angle of the sun behind you and the angle of your 1050 mounted on your bike, you could glance at your 1050 and be blinded by a direct reflection of the sun. I'd say this is an unfortunate side of effect of the display surface being too good, or maybe too reflective? Not a huge deal, but something to note.

I've heard this is common for Garman cycling computers, but the very first thing I noticed during my first ride was the timer data field not displaying the hours digit when the ride exceeds 60 minutes. This is such a fundamental flaw in my opinion, as I would guess most people when riding tend to cycle for more than 60 minutes. And when you have the timer field enabled on a profile, it means you want to be able to see for how long you've been riding. After 60 minutes I am not at all interested in the seconds digits, I want to see hours. And not an EXTREMELY tiny hour digit in superscript that essentially cannot be seen at all from a riding position. Thank you to the other forum user who pointed out that I can "get around" this issue by using a full width data field to display my timer. But why should I have to do this? Using the full width data field for a timer wastes screen space on either side of the field that is not needed. This just seems like a very basic oversight to me, and a reason why I might possibly return my unit to Garmin and consider a competing brand, including the inability to hear sounds from the unit while wearing earbuds.

I am also having issue with my Edge display not turning off, or going into a sleep mode regularly. It seems that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't and the screen will just stay on indefinitely. And not while I am an in ride. This is just when the unit is powered on and at the home screen. As I sit here now typing this post, the display on my unit has been on now for over 20 minutes without going off. This is just wasting battery. But sometimes it does work and seems to power off after just a couple of minutes. Again, do I have a defective unit?

Hope some of these observations help.
