The 945 has just got a good chunk of new features. Details HERE.
Planning on going for a swim followed by lots of sweating on a treadmill and then a nice bike ride uphill? A quick pilates session and then reading some texts with emojis in?…this firmware is your answer (maybe)

ANT/BLE/BT Is at version 5.01. While we have historically used the ending of .00 with our production updates, this will change for some updates moving forward. This is a production update and is not a beta release.

Thanks – getting closer to the F6?
FR945 is a Fenix 6P (Plastic)
Almost everything was brought to the Forerunner 245 as well (Firmware 3.90, Sensor Hub 3.20). All-day respiration monitoring shows daily average only on widget, more detailed information is available only from sleep interval (Garmin Connect).
makes you wonder if the 655 next year will have any brand new functionality…it has to add something to the party.
245 is turning out to be a really good watch.
Guessing the 645 got none of it as usual?
3.90 before sensor hub update: battery life was a mess
3.90 after the sensor hub update: I’m getting 935 battery life.
Now taking bets on how long before they change something and break the battery life again.
Forerunner getting more expensive. 955 will be $700 lol
Battery Life is a joke on FR945 fw3.90
Hydration widget same, everytime differences to GCM vs Watch (a 8 year old developer can do it better!)
and Respiration Rate Widget isn’t available on GCM Android and it don’t cares
Hello, do you think it would be possible to extract hydration widget and sideload it to FR645?
yes.
i don’t know about the issue you need to consider but perhaps at least start with devices that support the same version of CIQ as well as having the same screen size/resolution. ie copy the PRG from those.
