Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Garmin Edge 1060?
The Garmin Edge 1060 is Garmin's flagship GPS cycling computer, launched in October 2026 to replace the Edge 1050. It has a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, bike-specific maps and navigation, training features such as Garmin Coach, and hands-free voice control through a built-in microphone.
What is the difference between the Garmin Edge 1060 and the Edge 1050?
The Garmin Edge 1060 adds three main things over the Edge 1050: hands-free voice control via a built-in microphone, reverse charging so it can top up other devices, and a lighter, smaller body (142 g against 161 g). The screen size, resolution and claimed battery life are the same as the Edge 1050. Navigation has also been updated, with route previews and hazard and closure alerts across roads and trails.
Is the Garmin Edge 1060 worth upgrading to from an Edge 1050?
For most Edge 1050 owners, the upgrade is a matter of convenience rather than need. The Garmin Edge 1060 keeps the same screen and battery life, so the case for upgrading rests on voice control, reverse charging and the 19 g weight saving. Riders coming from an Edge 1040 or older have more to gain, including the higher-resolution 480 x 800 screen and the built-in speaker.
How does voice control work on the Garmin Edge 1060?
You start voice control on the Garmin Edge 1060 by saying "Okay, Garmin". You can then pick a route, ask for ride stats or report a road hazard without taking your hands off the bars. The Edge 1060 replies through its built-in speaker and shows the relevant data on screen.
What is the battery life of the Garmin Edge 1060?
The Garmin Edge 1060 is rated by Garmin for up to 20 hours with demanding use and up to 60 hours in battery saver mode. Real-world battery life depends on screen brightness, navigation, connected sensors and voice use. Ride time can be extended mid-ride with Garmin's Power Mount or Charge battery pack.
What is reverse charging on the Garmin Edge 1060?
Reverse charging means the Garmin Edge 1060 can act as a power bank and charge another device by cable, such as a Garmin Varia light or a phone. It is useful on long rides or bikepacking trips where you want to keep a light or phone running from the Edge's battery. Charging another device will reduce the Edge 1060's own ride time.
How much does the Garmin Edge 1060 weigh and how big is it?
The Garmin Edge 1060 weighs 142 g and measures 107 x 58.5 x 16.3 mm. That makes it 19 g lighter and slightly shorter and narrower than the Edge 1050 (161 g, 118.5 x 60.2 x 16.3 mm), with the same depth.
What screen does the Garmin Edge 1060 have?
The Garmin Edge 1060 has a 3.5-inch (88.9 mm) colour touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, the same as the Edge 1050. It also has physical buttons, so it can be used with gloves or in the rain.
Is the Garmin Edge 1060 waterproof?
The Garmin Edge 1060 is rated IPX7, which means it can withstand rain, spray and brief immersion in water up to 1 metre. It is built for riding in wet British weather but should not be submerged for long periods.
Does the Garmin Edge 1060 work with Shimano Di2 and SRAM AXS?
Yes. The Garmin Edge 1060 works with Shimano Di2, including Synchro Shift integration, and with SRAM AXS. It also supports ANT+ electronic shifting and gear ratio analysis.
Which sensors and accessories work with the Garmin Edge 1060?
The Garmin Edge 1060 works with compatible heart rate monitors, power meters, Garmin Varia radar and lights, the Varia remote and the Edge remote. It also supports extended display, which lets a compatible Garmin watch show its data screens on the Edge.
Can you send messages from the Garmin Edge 1060?
Yes. The Garmin Edge 1060 can send and receive text and voice messages through the Garmin Messenger app when paired with a compatible smartphone. During a GroupRide it also supports in-ride messaging, live locations, incident detection alerts and climb leaderboards.
Does the Garmin Edge 1060 have a bell?
Yes. The Garmin Edge 1060's built-in speaker can be used as a digital bike bell. The same speaker gives spoken navigation instructions and voice prompts.
What navigation features does the Garmin Edge 1060 have?
The Garmin Edge 1060 has bike-specific maps with turn-by-turn navigation and spoken directions through its speaker. It suggests routes based on your available riding time and bike type, previews routes, and uses Up Ahead to show points of interest such as cafes, water fountains and public toilets. It also alerts you to reported potholes, hazards and road closures.
What training features does the Garmin Edge 1060 have?
The Garmin Edge 1060 includes Garmin Coach training plans that adapt to your training, recovery and the demands of planned courses. It also offers real-time stamina, power guidance, course demands and strength workouts.
How much storage does the Garmin Edge 1060 have?
The Garmin Edge 1060 offers 64GB of storage.
