FAQ

How does the Edge 850 compare to the 550 and 1050?: The 850 adds a touchscreen, built-in speaker, Garmin Pay, and the on-device course creator over the 550. The 550 is button-only at a lower price. The 1050 adds a larger 3.5-inch screen, GroupRide messaging and live location, and longer 20-hour battery in demanding use.

What is the on-device course creator?: The on-device course creator lets you plan point-by-point routes directly on the Edge 850's screen without needing a phone or computer. Drop pins on the map, chain them together, and start riding your new route without leaving the device.

How long does the Edge 850 battery last?: Up to 30 hours in standard mode and up to 36 hours in battery saver mode. Real-world battery life varies based on GPS mode, mapping, sensor pairing, and screen brightness.

Best For

Road and gravel cyclists who want a touchscreen Edge with a built-in speaker, Garmin Pay, and on-device course creator in a compact form factor. The Edge 850 is the step up from the button-only 550 for riders who want the interactive touchscreen experience without the larger size of the Edge 1050.
