    I have the 830, 1030 and Fenix 5 all set with True Up on.  All I can say is they report different levels of fitness.  Got to the point I turned true up off because it took more time synchronizing data to each device than I liked.  I wear the Fenix 5 all of the time and rely on the information it provides.  I also use it as a back up for when one of my Egdes decides to go bonkers.   In my opinion, true up sounds like a great concept, but I don't believe it works.  That could be because I am always recording my cycling activities with two devices and discarding one of them.  I am not sure true up knows how to deal with discarded information.  If you use one device at a time it may work.

    Thank you for answer, yes i suspected that. In best Garmin «style» they implement new functions before they even close to get the «old» working. I too wear the fenix 6 all the time, but my main sport is cycling, and i rerecently bought a pair of dual sided pedal power meters ( Not Garmin), that’s why i ordered the edge. I will wait to the Edge arrive, and then play around with them both al little bit, after i guess i will use the data from the one who is «least incorrect». A shame that it’s like this, but all i can say is that I been a Garmin user for at least 12-14 year, and the story is always the same, hardware 99%, software 0,99%. As soon ( i dream) as an other   company can deliver a working solution , i am out from Garmin, but right now ther unfortunately no alternatives.

    if you record with 2 devices at the same time, then Physio True Up went wrong, especially when you delete one of them and vice versa!
    i have no prob between Edge 830 and FR945, my Training Load Statistic is always fine!

    anyway, Fenix 5 haven't the same metrics for Training Load like Edge 830/1030 and Fenix 6!

    Yes you are right, i have gone all the way fro fenix 3. What about restitusion time, i assume 945 have that, will that show up in true up ?

    Unfortunately it was as i suspected , don’t work with 830 and fenix 6. Sync VO2max, restitusion time ok. That’s it. Training load is wrong, both 7 day’s , anaerob,high and low aerob and even the recorded indoor rides is missing on the daily load. But it’s Garmin, no surprise here.
