So I have got my bikeerg connected to Zwift with power/cadence and HR.
Zwift syncs workouts to Garmin Connect and Strava - so far all is good.

But I don't think this allows Garmin to calculate Vo2max on my activities although both power and hr is present.
How do users here set this up?

I think you need to start indoor bike and connect power/HR to Garmin Fenix6 - but then Zwift won't work as sensors can't connect from bike to Zwift AND Garmin ? Also I would love to have my meters on Ergdata?

Has anyone figured a way to do this?

No can do.

The PM5 will only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time for the "Apps"

I'm running Zwift on the Erg so I need the RowedBiker App on the phone using a Bluetooth connection and ErgData App as well and that needs a second Bluetooth connection.

What I have done is connect TWO PM5's to the one Erg. The setup time is not super fast but its rock solid.

My Heartrate is all ANT+ so you can use multiple devices with ANT+ because it has different channels. The PC has an ANT+ dongle for the Zwift HR and also the Garmin Chest strap connects to the PM5 with ErgData at the same time.

I love ErgData for the verified rows and the LogBook for the uploads to the C2 Logbook.

One PM5 that I cannot even see while rowing down on the floor handles Zwift and the other monitor on the rower is totally independent and runs ErgData. I just leave the PM5 up on the arm that I can see on "Just Row" and then just complete however long the Zwift ride is, stop rowing and click yes to "Are you finished rowing" on ErgData.

If you don't care about having the HR graph on ErgData, you can sync the workouts to C2 Logbook with C2 Utility or use the USB stick.

For me, Garmin does calculate VO2max, but not under cycling, but under All Activities. It does this just through syncing my Zwift workouts to Garmin Connect.
