Recovery discrepances epix 2 and Edge 1000

DEADLINER

I have Epix 2 as primary tracker with Physio True Up enabled. 

I also have Garmin Edge 1000 for my bike. 

Today I did pool swim with epix 2 and in the afternoon bike ridie with Edge 1000 (powermeter and HR strap). At the end of the ride Edge told me that recovery time will be about 40 hours. 

I can see both activities (swim and bike) in the Epix 2. But epix 2 is telling me I only need to recover for 19 hours. 

So I am confused. Which is it?

    According to Garmin’s support page regarding Physio Trueup, recovery time will only update if Physio TrueUp is enabled on all devices, but it is not supported on the Edge 1000, so I would say that neither is correct.

    If you want the recovery time to be accurate for you, you will need to record on the Epix 2 even when you are riding on the bike.  I used to do this with my Fenix 6 and my old Edge 520, and just discard the activity on the Edge 520 after the ride.  I have an Edge 1030 Plus now and the Physio TrueUp all works fine between the two.
