As you get deeper in this rabbit hole, "some" of us know that these cycling computers have a reason to exist, despite smartphones being able to do many of the same things OK, similar to why some people still buy cameras.
In the end it's your money and funds, for me as someone who cycles atleast once a week it's been probably my best investment alongside with the varia radar.
Can this track two (or more) separate bikes as separate profiles?
I have two bikes. One for work commute so I want to just log the miles but don't care about speed etc (it's not a race bike and I carry lots of stuff with it). The other bike is a gravel bike which I care a bit more on my numbers like speed and cadence etc.
What I want is that all numbers are tracked seperately for each bike. So I can see, this month, I rode X miles on bike1 with an average speed of Y. I rode Z miles on bike 2 with average speed W. I can add up to get my total miles. But don't let commute bike's speed drag down numbers of my other ride style.
A related question is whether it can handle 2 sets of sensors. So when I ride bike 1 using profile 1, it won't pickup cadence sensor on bike 2 even when it's next to me (eg a friend rides it with me).
Of course assume I have two mounts and can easily move the unit from one to the other. Ok if I need to press a few buttons to switch profile.
Thanks!

In terms of profiles connecting to different sensors, yes you can create different profiles for different set of sensors i.e. indoor trainer, HRM, cadence etc.

These do have bike profiles. I have 3 bikes I ride with one Garmin and each has its own settings, screens, and ultimately records. For 2 of my bikes, I have to go back and switch from the default eMTB to the other eMTB trail bike because they are recorded basically the same despite them having different profiles in the Garmin. But the 3rd bike isn't an ebike and is setup for default MTB. When I select that one, it does get it right and records it as that bike with the proper profile. Basically, you can have one profile for each type of bike there is listed, which includes road, ebike, Mountain, eMountain, and a number of other odd balls.
The cool thing is these get better with each update and over time features improve or just appear.
As to sensors, it will pickup the other bike's sensors if you ride them together, but you can reject it when it asks to connect the wrong one.

Strava does a better job of figuring it out and keeping track, FYI.
But it does fine when I use the pedal bike, it always identifies that one correctly.
Thus, I assume it's just able to default one bike per type of bike - eg one road one MTB one eMTB, etc.
