Pair IR Mini with multiple watches simultaneously?

Has anyone tried pairing the Inreach Mini with more than one watch at a time? Does it work?

I currently have it paired with my Fenix 6X. Just got my son an Instinct recently, and now I'm curious if he can pair his InReach widget with the same Inreach device as I have my Fenix paired with. Ideally, it would be great if, when we're hiking together, incoming messages could be displayed on both watches, and also have both watches be able to send messages.

If nobody knows, then I might just give it a try and see what happens, but I don't want to end up screwing something up if it doesn't work.

So I just tried it, and to my surprise, it actually DOES work!

I paired his Instinct to the InReach, and then tested the InReach widget on my Fenix to make sure it still works, and it does. Sent a test…

I just can talk about my Gpsmap 66i: I can only pair it with one of my wearables at the same time.

correction (04.05.20): user error. I can pair my 66i with multiple wearables, too.

One at a time as far as I know.

I paired his Instinct to the InReach, and then tested the InReach widget on my Fenix to make sure it still works, and it does. Sent a test message using both watches, and both watches were able to send them. And when I replied to the test message with my phone, the incoming message got displayed on both watches!

Way cool!
