I've got longer out of the 800 but not while using navigation. I think it's the combination of using navigation and doing 3-400k+ that kills the older Garmins. So far the 1000 has been much more stable than the 800/810s but the nav is shit and the screen is annoying when wearing gloves. Oh and battery life sucks.

My battery was good. 7h with route navigation and backlight off.
I always make my own gpx routes. Never bothered with garmin nav (as it's crap as you know). But navigating my gpx route, it always was good.

I've actually found the navigation on the 1000 way better than my old 810, but it did take some tweaking. I'll add my settings to the thread when I get home.

my longest 'ride' was 36h and 400miles. One single file. I've not had a single issue with crashing with longer rides.
I did normally split stuff after 12h when I remembered.
That's weird about the screen, not sure.
Yes my city nav maps work better than OSM for navigation prompts when I create routes on rwgps.com
