                The Edge 1000 weighs 4 oz (114.5 g), the 820 weighs 2.4 oz (67.7 g), and the 520 weighs 2.1 oz (60 g). The 820 and the 520 are identical in size and display resolution: 2.3″ diagonal screens with 200 x 265 pixels high resolution. The Edge 1000 is very noticeably bigger, looking more like a smart phone.Feb 25, 2017
