Do Forerunner 165 workouts account for training load when you also use an Edge 840?

I have a Garmin Edge 840 which supports metrics like training load and training status. I was wondering if workouts from the Forerunner 165, even though the device does not natively support those metrics, are taken into account.

    I have Edge 840 and Forerunner 165 and that was also a question I had when I bought Forerunner 165. What I can see, training load focus and acute load will be affected by what you do with the Forerunner 165. One strange thing is that the training load screen on the Edge 840 gets updated with what you do with the Forerunner 165 but that doesn't show in Garmin Connect. In Garmin Connect only training load focus and acute load gets updated. Worth mentioning is that I have a swedish version of the Garmin Connect app, if that makes a difference. Another thing is that you need to sync Forerunner 165 to Garmin Connect and Edge 840 to Garmin Connect to get the metrics to update in both the app and on the devices.

    I have a FR165 and Descent G1 which has Training Load. If I train with the FR165 and then sync both Devices multiple Time Acute Load and Training Focus is updated with the Trainings from the FR165. But just the numbers, so you can´t look in Garmin connect in Training Status and see which Training has contributed to Anaerobic, low or high Aerobic ...

    So you just see the Overview with Acut Load, Chronic Load and your Load Focus but can´t look into it in Details.
