HRV status on previous models

Garmin has been showing features like stress and body battery across many models including my forerunner 945. While I know they have the data on my HRV, not sure why it’s not made available for me as a user? I see an option to check my HRV by wearing a chest strap. Is this a hardware limitation or just a way to get me to upgrade my watch?

The data is made available for you. You can add it on the App on the Overview.

Thanks for the quick response. The option suggested also requires me to wear a chest HR strap to calculate HRV . No option without it?

Works without chest HR strap. I'm wearing an Epix and it is calculated and tracked in the background, mainly during sleep I think.

I understand it is tracked in the background...but on my forerunner 945, it asks me to wear a chest strap to view the number at that point in time. And it doesn't show any number from past data...like overnight or otherwise.
