I don't usually write a review (especially of a product I like). However, I saw so many negative reviews on this site I thought potential customers would benefit from hearing my experience. I have owned this product for about 2 weeks and I purchased it as an upgrade to my Edge 810. So I can make comparisons if you write to me.
Initial Impressions:
1. I like the screen readability. This model utilizes a backlight when it is dark which is a huge improvement over the 810 model.
2. Screen size is also nice as you can actually read the waypoint and other map items on this device
3 Set up with other sensors. I own a Garmin cadence and speed sensor which paired easily with this device. I had the device set up and ready to go within 5-7 minutes of pulling the device out of the box.
Other Feedback:
1. After riding with this device I can say that the battery longevity is excellent - even with the aformentioned backlight
2. I also use this with Garmin Connect and my trips are automatically uploaded - very convenient!
3. Other features include expanded training screen display so that I can track HR, speed, distance and time to destination, etc.
4. Ease of use. This model is very easy to set up and configure for your own preference
Conclusion:
I am very satisfied with my purchase. Yes. THIS IS NOT AN INEXPENSIVE bike computer. But if you have the cash to buy one of the best, then you can't go wrong. It should last many years and provide excellent service. Although I have not owned this model long enough to make that statement. However, I have owned many Garmin GPS devices and I can say that their quality and robust design is consistently good in every product they make.

Ride longer and stronger while staying connected with the Edge 1030 GPS cycling computer.

Will Not Hold up to a Snow Blower
Tough and durable GPS. I have dropped it on mtb trails multiple times, lost it for a couple of days in a state park after driving away with it on my trunk, and generally crashed a lot with it on my bike. It survived all of this even before I put on the rubber protector and it worked every time. Even the incident detection was unaffected by my overall abuse of it. Sadly, it did survive going through my snow blower after falling out of my car and into the snow without my realizing it. 10/10 will get another.
