If you have been following cycling computer leaks and regulatory filings as closely as I have, you know how hard Garmin tried to keep the Garmin Edge 1060 under wraps. For months, everyone in the community expected a grand release back in June. When June came and went with absolute radio silence, it was clear that Garmin was doing its absolute best to hide every single trace of this device from public databases.
Even though Garmin officially launched the device yesterday—and we have already covered the Garmin Edge 1060 release date and expected features alongside the official launch details, price, and new features—the story of how these leaks are managed behind the scenes is always fascinating. If you are wondering whether the new flagship is worth jumping on, we also put together a detailed breakdown comparing it to its predecessor in our Garmin Edge 1060 vs Edge 1050 review.
True to form, I went back digging into Taiwan’s NCC database today and finally spotted the Garmin Edge 1060 (Model AA5231) sitting right there in the registry.
Sure, finding it now feels a little late since the device is already out on store shelves, but looking through these filings gives us a rare look at the exact hardware photos that Garmin spent weeks and months keeping away from the public eye.
The Hidden Hardware Gallery
The newly surfaced certification documents provide a complete visual breakdown of the unit. The front and charging-cable layout photos show the device alongside its USB-C connection setup. Meanwhile, the side and angle profile shots show precise measurements, a slim casing, and button placement. Finally, the rear view reveals the classic quarter-turn mount interface, accompanied by the electronic regulatory screen layout confirming the IPH-A5231 FCC ID and model designation.
It is always amusing to watch manufacturers scramble to keep upcoming hardware quiet, only for the paper trail to surface right after launch.
