Fenix 5 and Edge 520 integration

I just recently bought myself a Garmin fenix 5, so far I have been very pleased with it. However I have one question, as I am an avid road cyclist and I record most if not all of my rides on the Garmin Edge 520 (Let's not get into a discussion on why I should just use the watch instead of the bike comp). I would love to have the ability to sync or integrate my data from the Edge to my fenix. As I use the watch for everything else and the bike computer for cycling, all the data is collected and shows up on my Garmin Connect App however wont transfer to the watch. Any suggestions from fellow cyclists out there. Thanks

    There's an extensive discussion at https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?376265-Fenix-and-Edge-Integration

    The best suggestion I have seen is to record your rides on both the Edge and Fenix, but have the Edge going to a different account to the Fenix. That way the Fenix will have all your training data, but you can still use the larger screen of the Edge as your bike computer.

    Yeah, I know, not the neatest solution, but it's about the most complete workaround.
