Edge 530 + Instinct

Hello. I have an Instinct + cadence and speed sensors.
If I bought an Edge 530, would it be possible to display on the screen the values of the 2 sensors, but also the value of the heart rate read by the instinct watch, to avoid buying the HRM sensor?
Thanks a lot

Yes, cadence and speed are common fields on the 530.

You can broadcast your heart rate from the Instinct to the 530. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/instinct/EN-US/GUID-D8D363C2-0690-48D4-95E2-A3557E7D53C2.html

Note that while this works great for riding an indoor trainer, some people find the vibration from the handlebars interferes with wrist heart rate accuracy when riding outdoors.

I can confirm this. When I cycle far I use the band. If I cycle to work I use the instinct as Heartrate broadcaster. The vibration will distort the true readings.
