How do I get it to show distance?

I noticed the same in the History view. Despite the fact that in Connect I manually add all the distances for my indoor activities, they don’t show back onto the watch, which is quite annoying and a bug…

Well, you haven't travelled any distance - you are still in exactly the same spot in your pain cave.

Don’t misunderstand me, i totally agree.Same goes for intensy minutes on the Edge series, i can not see one good reason to not integrate them, other than to force people to buy another Garmin device if they want them. And sleep, you are allowed to edit it in GC, but it don’t sync back to the watch. Welcome to Garmin’s world.

I can have my zwift ride to show up too. All i have to do is pair my stages bike as a indoor trainer, but the speed and distance i get is so totally different from what i get in Zwift, so i don’t bother. It sort of choose what you want to be wrong. So i input the distance and elevation manually in GC , and the last activity widget on the watch is only another useless Garmin feature.

Well, I use the distance and speed from Zwift. I notice that the cadence is the same as wat Edge records. Well, at least it is when I use Zwift on my laptop. On the ipad Zwift thinks that cadence is around 60-65 when I actually have 80+. Causing wrong power so during a warming up I was almost exhausted trying to get the power I should cycle. ;-)
But distance and speed on Edge might be more accurate though. Well, it's indoors and I don't bother too much. Trying to get in shape and see what next outdoor-season will bring.
But I'll keep using Fenix then to record as well. Using the HRM on the wrist doesn't work that well, because even when having 140 with the waistband wrist might show 115.

I use the edge 830 for cycling dynamics with the Favero Assioma duo powerpedals, the fenix6 and Zwift ,all 3 simultaneous with the new Wahoo kickr heart rate strap. Work great, The wrist heart rate on fenix is ok for «daily use» but for workout’s it’s not accurate. I ended up delete the last activity widget on the watch, as 99% of my exercise is cycling indoors it made no sense to have it installed. I have also tried to record my zwift ride’s with the edge, but speed and distance is way off there too.
