Garmin Triathlon Display Mode How-To // aka Extended Display Mode

Slightly off topic question: how comfortable have you found the Marq to wear? It's a big watch.

The glare on that head unit is outrageous,

I use this mode from my Fenix 5X to "broadcast' using Extended Display Mode to my Edge 130 Head unit on my MTB and RB. It's definitely NOT a Tri-Only feature and offer me the ability to use a single Garmin device for the actual Activity Tracking, but gives me the luxury of seeing the watch stats on the handlebars, vs running both devices in tracking mode with 2 resulting activities results.. My unsolicited .02 in case you wanted to hear it! ~ Peter

AKA secret cyclocross mode so you can have a headunit on your pit bike and one on your race bike but record from your watch!

This is awesome! What is your favorite watch/bike computer combo for triathlon?

Do you like the marq ? Do you think next gen fenix/945 will have less bezel and more screen?

Since Marq Athlete is available to public now, should we expect a review soon?

Why won’t this work on my Fenix 3HR?

Interesting idea but not worth the bother. It’s more fun to spend time during the 5 hour bike leg doing math in my head about how fast I am going to need to run based on my swim split plus my bike split!

Interesting. But I don't want to bother with 2 devices at triathlon. I just rotate my watch so I can read it while using the airobars.

ive been trying to figure this out forevers with my garmin fenix 5x plus. i was gonna buy a garmin computer as well but didnt cuz i wasnt sure if it could sync! meow i know! thanks a lot man!

By editing he date fields on the watch you can have your total bike time on the head device I have my current speed, average speed distance and total bike time, the the 2 fields at the top you can’t change. I use this all the time both in training and in racing. Also an easy way to get heart rate data with a chest strap when cycling!

Will it work on the Descent Mk1

I’ve found with my 735xt watch it drops out constantly with my stages power but on my Garmin edge 130 it never has power drops. So because of that I don’t think I’ll be using extended display mode.

The audio. ☹️

Hi, great video. I wanna make a question: what is the name of the garmin edge mount on your bike? Share the link, please?

Which garmin it is 935/945?

What is the aero mount for your bike computer called and where do I get one? Great video Thx

Hello! There is any way I can see power and cadence?

Sick. I’ll drop a like for that.

Have 735XT (for running) and Edge 830 (for cycling). Nice to learn about this feature. Now I just need to learn to swim more than three lengths of a pool.

This would be a very helpful feature but my powermeter will have power drops when connect to 735xt watch but my garmin edge will get the signal for the full ride.

Why can't I just use my phone as an extended display?

Hello Dc Rainmaker, thks for your videos! one concern is from my watch i send Normalized POwer NP data, NP, NP last lap, for example , the edge 130 or the 130 plus, would show it? since the 130 lack about this metric i dont know if it would show it, thks your help !!!

hello, I have the Garmin 945 used to go cycling or better buy the Garmin 530?

Great video! Do you happen to know if the 245 can be used for triathlons? As it’s listed in this video. Garmin categorise it as a triathlon watch but I haven’t seen any triathlon mode on it. Cheers

Another great video. The faults you highlighted, such as climb pro, do you know if this now works with a device like the fenix 6.

Just purchased the fenix 6 Pro sapphire after your great reviews and tips.

Does the lap button work on the Edge unit to enter T2? I typically like to hit my lap button immediately before dismounting. Can I do that on the bike computer or still do it on the watch?

It doesn’t mirror it exactly. I can get my power meter to show on the edge a lot of sensors not on the edge that I have configured on the watch :(

Hey, great video, I use this feature on my mtb-rides, but.....does this work also together with the handlebar remote control?

Is this why Garmin seems to have moved away from quick release kits for their watches? I want a watch to replace my 310xt, but want to put it on my quarter turn mount rather than strapping it to my handlebars, and nothing at the moment seems to offer that option.

Doing my first triathlon this week - this really helped, didn't know my 735xt could link up to my 520 plus, so thanks!!

thank you very mush very interesting i just pair my 945 and my EDGE 830

But what about Edge Explore? Does it have this feature?

Does it work with 130 Plus also?

What are you using to mount the garmin computer to your areo bars?

I presume you're sending HR data to your watch via a chest strap? What are the pros and cons over using the watch's sensor? Does it support the full suite of health tracking features (stress, body battery, etc)?

Many years late on this, but I have a few lessons. If I want things like Cadence & Power displayed, I should pair those with the watch then, correct?

Also, if I wanted to see HR from my watch, would this mode be the best (even if it's not a triathlon)?

Huge help!! Thank you!

The loss of hill-climb features alone is a reason to keep the Edge in stand-alone mode. I was dissapointed to find that map screens are downgraded to a compass direction indicator only. I'll run my Fenix 7s watch in triathlon mode and the Edge 1080 in standard bike mode for the bike-leg but it's a shame that Garmin can't make this feature work a bit better because it's got great potential.

Watch and monitor still paired? Remember in triathlon when u swim posible the distance between sea and bike is around 500 or 600 meters the quuestiin is if both watch and monitor are paired?

Love this! Well made and works great!!

Thanks for the video. I wonder if you can see navigations and maps on Edge in this mode?

Can you select which data fields show? For example, i don't want to see lap time.

I tried it. when I came back from the swim the 1040 screen was frozen. Anti climax.... So I suspect u need to be in range when u start the activity. ? And in a triathlon the swim start and the T1 can be far from each other. (Watch epix gen 2)

It's a useful feature if you've got a watch which calculates the Training Effect and a bike computer which doesn't

nice work, thanks. If u go swimming u probably dont take your bike with u in the pool, the connection will be lost to your watch right? When u start biking, does the remote display on your edge resync your swimming activity and continues flawlessly to show data 1:1 as on the watch?
edit: after 5 minutes in the videos u explained it clearly ;) thanks

Hi! Is there a way to send suggested workouts from FR955 to Edge830? I can't find anything on this.....

Hi Ray, I’ve seen this video a few times but I watched a lot more closely last week as I set up my devices in preparation for my first triathlon. The instructions detailed worked flawlessly and helped me to have a really enjoyable bike leg. Thanks for all your amazing videos.
