Currently considering getting the Wahoo Elemnt bolt or the Gramin 520.

I got used to garmin so I'll stick with the compact design. It works with essentially every connectivity option that has to do with measuring outputs. Video shows 820 but the 520 is the same body dimensions but with a few missing non essential features (like wifi and real time routing and touch screen).
Stay away from anything touchscreen as tactile buttons will never be matched in terms of feedback and responsiveness. Edge 820 is borderline unusable while riding and concentrating on what's ahead.
If you don't care about the map, the edge 25 is a nice unit that has all the essential metrics and connectivity you'll need like the 520.
