Garmin Edge 1000, Garmin HRM, Garmin Speed and Cadence sensors, Garmin watch. So it made sense to stick with the Garmin pedals. Plus I liked the idea I could go cheaper now and buy the single-side version and upgrade later to both sides without breaking the bank. But then I started riding Zwift on my indoor trainer running off an AppleTV 4 and needed Bluetooth Smart sensors for that, so that kind of messed things up. With the purchase of this bike, my current bike becomes my dedicated indoor trainer. That means I can go back to pure ANT+ for my road bike, which will be a good thing. I've had the BT on my current trainer setup just drop out completely in the middle of a ride, which is frustrating.

im in the same boat but couldnt justify the garmin pedals.
i use my garmin watch for a HRM (on my bike, otherwise the fenix is my prime tracker for any other activity). garmin edge 810. but then, pioneer power meter which includes cadence, and its computer, which pulls more data than the BW interface with the garmin. also, the di2. my biggest complaint is lack of a standard platform, i wind up using too many interfaces to track data. then, just give up tracking.
also, debating on what speed sensor to get. annoying to have another gadget hanging off the bike.
