And, if I synch the watch, does that impact the date reporting to Garmin Connect? I assume the watch will be able to access the Garmin Connect date and read it, but I just don't know if I should be recording the activity on both.
People with Edges almost-always just record using the Edge (the vast majority of them don't have two devices to complicate their lives).
NOTE: Seattle Forrest's comment about the better GPS in the watch suggests you should use the watch to record rides in fjords. In most (other) cases, the GPS in the Edges is fine (many, many people use them).
Keep in mind that you can pair the ANT+ sensors to both the watch and the Edge.
