Bought an Elemnt Bolt last weekend, after the Garmin 810 had unaccountably shut down twice during a HH track session.
First thoughts: why didn't I do this two years ago? Setup takes no time. Display defaults are intuitive. The app makes everything easy to change. No maps to load. It doesn't turn itself off unexpectedly mid-ride (sometimes losing data on the process). Turn by turn works just fine (on Gran Canaria at least).
I now realise my Garmin had induced in me a tech version of Stockholm syndrome. I kept apologizing for it, even though I've known for years it was shit.
I might still keep it in a drawer for emergencies, but I hope never to have to use it again.
