Best practice re: Speed Sensor 2. Should I leave it paired with Garmin Connect, the Edge 840, or both?

Hey there,

I just picked up a Speed Sensor 2 / Cadence Sensor 2 bundle, and paired the speed sensor to both Garmin Connect and my Edge 840 Solar.

I wasn't aware that the sensor will capture data and sync it to GC, even without having it connected with a device.

This is cool, but what happens if I also have it paired with my bike computer?

Which data capture takes precedence when it syncs back to my account?

    When my speed sensor was paired to my Phone, it didn't work well with my Edge 1040, constantly disconnecting and connecting, was resolved once I disconnected it from the phone, so I'd advise deleting it from your phone.

    Regarding your original question I think the Edge takes precedence, thats what I've seen anyway (when it worked)

    Thank you. I did end up needing to delete the paired sensor in Connect, as it would duplicate date with my Edge 840 every time, despite the manual saying that it won't.

    I think if I didn't have a bike computer, pairing with Connect would make sense.
