Garmin what's wrong with your ecosystem?! Fenix 8 and Edge 840

Tell me please what is the point of buying your different devices if they cannot cooperate with each other?!

Explain that please (if you possibly can...)
When I go cycling I have to use your both devices. Why?

If I use only Edge then after the ride my calories are not transfered/summed up correctly into Garmin Connect and what's more they are not displayed/summed up on the Fenix
If I use only Fenix then what is the point in buying Edge?! I want to see all the data clearly during riding, on a 'big' screen – not a small watch on my hand!
So finally the only sensible option is to ride with both devices and then at the end of the ride cancel the ride on Edge and save activity from Fenix.

Sorry but I find it totally ridiculus!
I guess you are lucky (for now) because there is not much choice on the market but I hope that it will change in the future. Then you will loose a lot of users.

I would be greateful for some explanations (if there are any) to the issues I described above.

  • I think I found the solution Slight smile

    I switch off my Fenix
    Record all the ride with Edge
    After the ride I save the data
    Synchronize Edge with Garmin Connect
    Only then I turn on my Fenix and synchronise it too 

    Calories are calculated and showed on Fenix correctly

  • So this makes the desired numbers, but this cannot be the solution, this is just some workaround. But thank you and it's good to know how to deal with this nonsense.

    The solution is to make both devices working properly.
