I bought a 1050 when it first came out, and migrated my profiles and sensors from my 1040. I had random restarts most rides, although had a 7hr ride with zero restart during a half-Everest.
I decided to return it within the first month, and use a Karoo 3.
I now bought a new 1050 unit because I just got Garmin RS200 pedals, and wanted to use Cycling Dynamics:
- First ride: no problems
- Second ride: about 5-6 restarts, lost 7km of data all up.
- Third ride: 2 restarts... the first one came after 40km or so, when I stopped for about 5 minutes, got going again, it restarted straight away. I then hit pause and resume, and it worked fine until my next stop. As soon as I resumed again, it crashed within the same kind of 2-3 minutes of resuming the ride.
Anyone else who gets these crashes notice them happening after stopping for a bit? Is it something to do with auto-pause perhaps?
I'm going to try to stick with it this time, so will get in touch with Garmin officially when they're open after the weekend - posting in case it helps someone troubleshoot their own errors.
PS: Keeping the Karoo 3 also, but its evolution / famous fortnightly updates seem to have faded away into once every 2-3 months with almost no features added. It's missing Cycling Dynamics and a few other things for me that I just don't see happening: music controls, alarm, food / hydration reminders.
PPS: Someone on the ride today had the Wahoo Ace - it is HUGE!
