Re the Garmin 1050, totally agree with your point about adding features that you will never use. I might still be prepared to pay a premium for a better display and can live with “just” 20 hours of battery life as that works for all my rides and, even if I am touring, I can charge overnight or “on the hoof” with a battery backup connected on my top tube bag.
I'm still using a refurbished Edge 530 and don't even use all of it's features lol... have to admit hazard/road surface warnings would be nice to have though.
I’d love to hear about what new sunglasses tech are coming out. I saw that Oakley debuted a new sunglasses style for the grand depart presentation and saw that 100% had some new styles. With a range of other makers having various pieces of eyewear for cyclists to wear.
Was looking to get the gen 7 madone as I think it’s one of the best looking bikes out there , especially with project one. Turns out they are sold out everywhere and you cannot order them because of the gen 8. New dogma f “my way” here I come.
I’m most excited to see the Pinarello in different colorways that chameleon blue color is amazing 🎉 love the shapes of it. But man Trek with the new Madone 🙃 serious eye roll!
It’s insane that the cycling industry somehow managed to convince people that paying 650 bucks for a cycling computer and 10+ grand for a bike is appropriate
@@andrewlabat9963 if no one buys them they will come down in price. Same as the bikes. The issues, still they sell out even at today’s prices. (Bikes are on sale all the time now, so that might be changing)
At these prices nothing excites me. On this channel most of us are just reduced to voyeurism. As a keen fitness cyclist I would not dream buying any of those bikes or these other overpriced gimmicks.
the NFC is probably bundles in with the WIFI or GPS chip already.. they thought "its in there, lets flip the bit in the code and turn it on" It will already be coded from the watches and other devices.

What is the name of the bike hanging in the back?

I carry cash, credit card and my phone on rides. Don’t feel like unmounting my head unit and bringing it into the cafe.
That and the Garmin theft alarm won't work so hot if you have the computer in your hand (not that I use the alarm either). 🙃
1050, aka, a huge self-indulgent waste for those who think more $ means better.. Trek, still a gimmicky design that is now more disposable than ever..
Bezel size unchanged?
Madness SL8 not SL9?
Would like to see a head unit with camera
the trouble is, the camera would be sub par to fit in the price bracket, then you might as well use your phone.

Because there’s no cheaper option. Every company is holding the price😢
But you don't have to buy either. There are cheaper options in both categories.
@@jjsadv he didn't say to buy, but they're pushing this appropriate value pricing..

I use the 230€ elemnt bolt for ~6 years now and I think about going back to a phone mount because Strava has become a lot better
I use my smart phone as my head unit.

€750 for garmin won't be leaving it on bike mount
i would prefer for garmin to fix their training datascreen instead of a stupid nfc chip
