Garmin Trainer with Venu 4 and Edge 1050

I own a Venu 4 and an Edge 1050. The Venu 4 is selected as the "Primary Wearable Device," and the Edge 1050 as the "Primary Training Device." A "Garmin Coach" training plan has been initiated on the Edge 1050 via Garmin Connect.

If I open Garmin Coach on my Venu 4 watch, it does not see the plan intended for the Edge 1050. Furthermore, Garmin Coach only modifies the plan based on my status (sleep, body battery, etc.) after the Edge 1050 has synced, even though the Venu 4 can now independently assess training status, training readiness, and so forth.

Could you advise on how to correctly and most effectively use these two devices together? I do not do strength training or running; I only do cycling workouts with the Edge 1050.

    Since the Venu 4 is not a compatible device for Garmin Cycling Coach plans that is why you are unable to see the training calendar on the Venu 4. I've linked the article What Is the Garmin Cycling Coach Training Plan? so you can see the compatible devices along with additional information on how this training plan will work. You will need to sync both devices because the Edge 1050 is not monitoring the additional data needed to adjust the training plan and that is where the Venu 4 comes into play providing that data.

    The following is written on the page with Venu 4:

    «Track all the ways you move with more than 80 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps — including walking, running and more. Reach your goals with Garmin Coach training plans for running, cycling, strength and fitness; some even adapt based on your health and fitness metrics. Or get daily suggested workouts made specifically for you.»

    How does it turn out that it is written that there is a function, but in the description of Garmin Coach the device is not in the list of supported and you declare the same? I bought a watch because of the appearance of this function as well.

    So what do you think about this? Why is the Garmin Coach for Venu 4 stated in the promotional materials, and you state the opposite? Where is the error? Why is it that when syncing with Garmin Connect, the Garmin Coach training plan for a road bike created on Edge 1050 is not displayed on the watch?

    Our apologies, the articles with compatible devices list had not been updated. I have submitted a request to do so.

    A couple of things

    1) The Garmin Cycling coach plan will only update when the edge 1050 syncs because that is currently the primary training device. For this reason I would recommend making the Venu 4 the Primary Training device

    2) Has a VO2 Max been established on the Venu 4? if not it make take a few rides for the Garmin Coach to appear

    3) We are looking into why the Garmin Coach Cycling plan is not appearing on the Venu 4. I will reach out once we have new info

    Until the third point is implemented, there is no point in making Venu 3 the primary training device - then the sense of using Edge 1050 will disappear altogether, since it will not display the Garmin Coach plan.

    On the second point - in the training block I see my VO2 Max for the cycling, but it is based on classes with Edge 1050, because I record all training on the bike only with it.

    Looking forward to solving the problem of synchronization and display of Garmin Coach on all compatible devices!
