Seems to me the only difference that a 520 or bike unit will give you is information on when you are on an active segment which I can't see with my Vivoactive HR. Or is it you need to have a Fenix to pair a power meter? I only have cadence, speed and Hr that I pair to my Vivoactive so I'm not sure on the power meter part.
[MENTION=466379]Iride01[/MENTION] Is correct. The power meter doesn't work with the Vivoactive HR. Or at least mine doesn't with Power Tap. Besides this if you are using a wrist based sensor for bike riding and you want the metrics and actually want to see them while riding the watch method would be just awful to use. Also the cadense/speed sensor that connects to the watches really SUCK. They don't always pair and drop a lot.
So if your wanting a wearable to see all the data and power meter you will have to buy the Fenix model, the high end watch levels. But for the price of that watch if I recall you can get the vivoactive HR and the 520. Fenix look so great but so darn spendy.
