Is the right watch for me?

Just got my new Vivoactive 3 and was initially looking for an alternative to Whoop and noticed this Vivoactive 3 had some firstbeat/body battery features. I was excited. Received the watch and am very disappointed. It appears to be a general fitness/steps counter. Garmin Connect won't sync/push past rides from indoor training from Zwift or Training Peaks. The Stress score which I believe to be HRV? I was hoping for a bit more data like recovery, strain, stress. I ride my bikes quite a bit, train, race, etc; and was just looking for a streamlined watch/tracker to assist with some of that.

Is there something I'm missing?

VA3 only has 4 Firstbeat features. V02Max, Stress, Calories burned, and fitness age. The other metrics is Garmin's algorithm. IMO for cycling a Garmin bike computer would be better. Pairing it with a power meter and speed/cadence sensors would give you much better cycling metrics.
