Glad to hear it James. I don’t think you can go wrong. I am older than you, and I have issues with my eyes too. Not from welding, just from living a long time :) Anyway, screen size is a big deal to me too. Hope you end up loving your 1030 Plus. Come on back and write a comment about how it works out, if you have the time!

Hey Dave! Thanks; you have no idea how rare it is to hear back from readers. More importantly, we just LOVE when we get positive feedback. Blogging is weird, because you have an audience, and you cannot see or hear them. So it often feels like I am talking to myself. Of course, I know that is not true, because my stats tell me that thousands of valued readers are dropping by every day, and that they come back regularly too :) This makes me a happy man, and makes Maggie a happy woman. Anyway, good luck with the 530. That would be my pick nowadays. Used to be the 830, because of the navigation. However, these days, we can’t even imagine ever again being able to go on a cycling tour anywhere. A bike tour of either Florida or the Netherlands was top of my bucket list, but with the COVID situation, we will have to settle for our own neighborhood for cycling for the foreseeable future. No need for navigation here – I now know it like the back of my hand! Re bookmarking it – thanks for reminding me, I meant to say in the post that I wanted to make it a permanent internet resource for comparing the Garmin Edge bike computer range – and then I forgot :( I will go ahead and make the update to the post right now.
