Fenix and Edge Integration

Does anyone have information on whether Garmin is working on integrating their watches (such as the fenix) and the Edge series? Specifically in terms of syncing workouts and the Training Status metrics. I'm confused how the current "best practice" for getting comprehensive data seems to be to use your watch for everything, instead of supplementing the watch with a bike computer that is both expensive and better suited to the purpose of cycling.

I'm not a coder but this seems like it would be doable by aggregating the workouts and metrics from both devices in Garmin Connect, and then pulling that info back onto the device. I've noticed that Training Status is currently device-dependent in Garmin Connect, but I see no reason why this needs to be the case.

Isn't this sort of synergy between Garmin's various devices precisely the sort of thing they should be selling to their core audience who is willing to spend $600-800 on a Fenix 5?

    I used Fenix 5 and just got Edge 1030. I was amazed that there is no ingertation between these devices. No activities sync, no records sync. This is stupud. I payed $600 per each and got a big invonviniece since I'm relying on Garmin training status. Now it became uselsss for me and I don't really use web version a lot.
  • I am on the FR645 and Edge 1030 myself. Currently recording the training load on the FR645 by running the activity and then discarding it on the watch while keeping it in the Edge (training load is still kept on the FR645 ) - if you look in the garmin connect portal the reporting functionality is currently beefed up and you already see combined vo2 max stats and a consistent training load... keeping my hopes up.
