Edge 530 Display Brightness in daylight

I am finding that the auto-brightness mode on the Edge 530 seems to be too dark to clearly be able to see the screen in daylight. I realize it is in part because of my presbyopia (need +2.00), but I was wondering if anyone else is having that issue. The only alternative seems to go to manual mode and increase the brightness which will also burn down the battery more quickly. Any other suggestions?

Would the Edge 830 provide better screen brightness and/or clarity? I am also considering moving to the Element Bolt with a simple monochrome display for that very reason. Any comparisons between the clarity of the Edge 530/830 vs Element Bolt?
