Connecting a power meter

Hi.

Although not listed in the devices available on the watch I'm wondering if using "search all" it will connect or does it currently not have the software?

If not is a software patch available? It would be a shame to have to buy a new watch just to gain power meter connectivity.

Many thanks and kindest regards

Adrian

Many thanks. Disappointing. I'm guessing you're replying from the community not Garmin. I'm surprised they don't offer a patch/update on download to add another device i.e. power meter.

How do we gain a definitive from Garmin?

Many thanks it's an attractive option. The only draw back being the lack of data recognition by Garmin and Zwift in FTP etc.

It's certainly sounds like a way forwards for now.

Cheers
