How to use FR955 + Edge 840 on bike rides

I am using FR955 to track my running and fitness activities.
For bike rides I use an Edge 840 + HRM-Dual + Cadence Sensor.
For bike rides, should I keep the watch on my wrist or should I leave it home? Will Garmin connect overlap/combine/overwrite data from both devices at the end of the activity?

That's what happened to me It's a shame that apparently both devices don't sync well in GC...

It seems to me that you're overthinking. Just don't start bike workout on the watch, you can have in on the wrist or leave home. It sync after from 840 to 955.

Thanks for your reply.
Yesterday I did a bike ride, without starting the watch as you suggested, and Edge 840 registered a total of 1052 burned calories (837 active and 215 resting).
However the Calories In/Out menu of Garmin Connect, it's assuming 599 active calories, which makes no sense to me. The active calories value should always be greater than 837, or not?

You need to enable physio trueup on both devices and put 955 as primary

Thanks for your reply.

Physio Trueup option is not showing using Garmin Connect App, or accessing directly from each device.
However, it shows on Garmin Connect Desktop, but only for the Edge (it was enabled btw). Selecting FR955 doesn't show any toggle at all :(

Hi, I'm using 955 and 540 for bike ride. When on the bike, I turn off my 955 and leave it at home. After ride, I synchronize 540 with GC, then turn on 955 and synchronize it. And everything works fine.
