Pairing ANT+ sensors with more than one device

I currently have a fenix 2 watch and the ant+ speed and cadence sensor, all working well. I am looking to add to my bike the edge 500 for ease of viewing while riding, but am getting conflicting information on whether or not i can pair the sensors to more than one device at the same time. I am also using the HRM run, but assume the answer will be the same for all the sensors.

Any one know if it is possible or any workarounds?

Thanks.

    Yes you can. ANT+ devices allow the same sensor to be paired with many head units at the same time.

    Thanks for your reply. I was told the opposite by garmin phone support, but they didnt sound too sure of themselves. I will give it a go.

    Thanks again.

    I do this almost every day. I can confirm that it can be done.

    Backup confirmation - I have an HRM, footpod & speed/cadence sensor paired to both my Fenix & 610... so one sensor, many watches works.

    What doesn't work is trying to pair a second HRM or footpod or speed/cadence sensor to a single watch when it already has one paired (although with the Edge 500 I think you have the opportunity to set up a second bike and thus pair second sensor of the same type)

    I have my Edge 810 setup with several bike profiles if I select my road bike it detects the Speed/Cadence sensor on that bike, if I select my CX bike it selects the Speed/Cadence sensor on that bike.
    If I use my Garmin Virb and my Edge 810 they both record data from the Speed/Cadence sensor (the Virb has to be paired with that individual bike).

    Can 2 devices (i.e. Fenix 3 and edge device/or rowing machine) receive from 1 HRM at the same time?

    Yes, ANT+ supports having many head units receiving data from a single sensor.
