Garmin Edge 520 Plus or Wahoo Element BOLT ?

Why not the Garmin 530? It addresses every missing feature from the 520.

Ooh, can you change the size of the characters on the display? I have a 520 and it’s generally fine for my needs but there’s a lot of empty screen space that larger numbers could use for those of us with less-than-perfect near vision.

More annoyingly, when I get a text message on my phone, it appears on the 520 in a font that’s just small enough for me not to read clearly, truncated to a few words to fit into the bottom third of the screen, guaranteeing frustration every single time. Does the 530 improve this functionality in any way?

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Im still using my Garmin 800 (its on its third battery change) and its been fine for getting on for 7 years, i like the colour/touch screen but i had to loaded Open Street maps on a few years ago as i needed maps for France , i do believe that the Wahoo has world maps on unlike the Garmin.
I have both and prefer the 800 too with the same maps,I find it more intuitive to use
