They have been closed in recent years. Therefore I have on site no possibility to compare the Elemnt and Bolt.<br /><br />Can you confirm that Elemnt and Bolt are identical except for:<br />- 11 instead of 9 data fields<br />- the Elemnt has 2 rows of LED<br />- the bracketing of the bolt is much brighter<br />- the bolt 's acoustic directions are much louderAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076105368070283111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518764871789529480.post-40270384500658933282017-05-05T16:30:16.507+10:002017-05-05T16:30:16.507+10:00I'd go with the original Elemnt for the larger...I'd go with the original Elemnt for the larger screen Michael. Maybe see if you can visit a bike shop to hold one and see if the size of the screen is suitable.

The design and size actually speaks for the Bolt, but I am 52 years old and my eyes are getting worse (progressive lenses). When cycling I use contact lenses. With my Edge 705, which I use so far, I have partial problems already. Therefore, I have the Bolt concern that the display is too small (when displaying 9 fields, the turnaround or the map view). What do you mean?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076105368070283111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518764871789529480.post-15172282727569732982017-04-06T06:28:26.804+10:002017-04-06T06:28:26.804+10:00Hi Shane

Something wrong with the phone I think, as it won't scan the Bolt's digital image. I noticed on the Wahoo support site that they haven't tested the Elemnt with certain models. Just putting it on record in case anyone else has this issue.Adam Aitkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038093899253235646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518764871789529480.post-57926969243671081322017-03-16T08:31:55.241+11:002017-03-16T08:31:55.241+11:00It depends on the functions you use, want to use, ...It depends on the functions you use, want to use, what one offers over the other.
