What are the application memory limitations between the 255 and 255M?

Not a developer, but I'm trying to understand the differences between the two models. Certain features of the Stryd app do not work on the 255 due to memory limitations, as I'm told. Seems odd for a mid-tier watch.

Thanks so much!

So, for an app, 524kb for the Forerunner 255 versus 786kb for the Forerunner 255M.

Yes, but in both cases what an app can use is 4k less (the 4k is used by CIQ itself)
