I previously owned a Garmin 5x quite a few years back and loved it until it broke.....my fault :/. Its been a couple years since i have had a smart watch but im feeling the need for it again, the previous Garmin really helped me health wise and kept me well on track.

So..since the 5x i can see a lot of other Garmin watches have been released and now im riding an Ebike (mainly) it would be great to get some features synchronised (Specialized Levo 2020). Features i want out of it are Maps, health tracking and the Ebike connectivity would be handly but i suppose not essential. Im trying to spend as little as possible on this so not bothered about age of the watch aslong as i get the functionalityand in an ideal world looking to spend under £120 so definetly need second hand. I have seen a load of watches that could suit under the Garmin  but not sure how old i can go to get the right functionality out of it.

Any suggestions welcomed 🙂

No idea what ebike specifics but if you can pair the ebike to the watch there will then be options to show on data screens...

Other half linked his Fenex 7 to a gen 3 Turbo Levo to try it but hasn't done it since

He links his Specialized app to the bike and just runs his watch as an activity tracker.

I have my 6X Pro Solar (and Edge 530) linked to my KSL. I record on the Garmin(s) and import into the specialized and SRAM AXS apps from Garmin Connect.

Useful for cadence and power, But everything can be configured on the Mastermind 2 TCU anyway.

No idea if my old 5X can sync, but the 6X has a 51mm screen with more useable screen than the 5X.

That should link to the eBike fields app.

I've used it to add my Levo's battery and power mode to the eBike activity field on my Epix.
