Epix 2 Integration

8194418 over 2 years ago

Looking for some help/advice.

I currently have an Epix 2 and am looking to purchase the 1040 unit. I am wondering on the best way to use both devices together - am I better recording my cycles through the Edge only, maybe broadcast the HR from Epix, or should I record on both in order to take advantage of the 24/7 monitoring features of the watch?

Any thoughts or examples of how you use watch and head units together would be really apprecaited.

Thanks

I pretty much ignore the suggested workouts but training status stays in sync so I’d expect so.

Physio true up takes care of keeping training stats in sync across the garmin platform. I wear my Epix when I ride sometimes but mainly as it’s easier to stay on top of notifications coming in.

Hey, and are the suggested Workouts also synced (the same) between both devices?

Thanks

Thanks Ian - do you use a heartrate strap or broadcast from the Epix? I am wondering will calories calculate on he Edge unit if I use heartrate from the Epix (sorry if this doesn't make sense!) Thanks

I’ve done both, Epix works well but I normally run a heart rate strap on the bike so tend to just stay with that. Calories I get from the PM, the Epix tracks pretty closely to my heart rate strap though.
