            Bottom Line on the Garmin Edge 1030 vs 1000 The only major difference between these two is – again – size and battery power.Sep 18, 2017

            The Edge 1030 achieves a larger screen with hardly any difference in the weight and size of the unit, by having the screen take up more space with less “wasted” space around it. As a result, the Edge 1030 weighs 4.8 oz (123 g), while the Edge 1000 weighs 4 oz (114.5 g).Sep 18, 2017

            Improved Battery Life on the Garmin Edge 1030 vs 1000 The Edge 1030 actually has three innovations to improve battery life. First, it has a claimed 20 hours battery life instead of the 15 hours of the 1000. Second, there is Garmin Charge, which adds 24 hours to battery life.Sep 18, 2017
