520 is a solid device. No complaints. Actually even the 500 still works fine for what you want.

Would highly recommend the Garmin 520. It has basically been 8 years now with either the Garmin 500 and now the 520 and they both were very good. Although I skipped the 510 and have killed an Edge 500 and 520 or two, I still don't think there is anything better than these devices.. I bet if you calculated which electronic product sold the closest in the industry to it actually MAP it would be the 520 and 500.

I've owned a 520 since new. If I were buying today, I would go for the bolt without hesitation.

I've owned 520 since it came out, but I agree in at least giving the bolt some serious thought. It seems like a very solid device

I too am in the market for a bike computer. Have been in the Garmin eco system forever but have strongly been considering the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt.

Seems like a solid value at $250 and reviews have been great that I can see. It may be worth considering.

I like the 520...solid. However, I am looking at the Bolt. Does the Bolt use the same mount as a Garmin?

I use a 920xt using the "quick release" kit and a normal Garmin mount. I have it set up to just display power. The small device allows me to run a larger BTA.

Garmin 500 edge all day. Does everything you need and is more durable than a Nokia 3310

Unfortunately not
