As far as I'm aware Garmin have never back ported Firstbeat technology into previous watch models, which is far more likely to do with licensing (and obviously also a desire to make you upgrade) than it is a hardware reason.

There's been some pretty steep discounting on the Fenix 5+ in recent weeks so you'd think a minor upgrade is probably just around the corner (called Fenix 5.1 Plus? Or Fenix 5 Plus Plus? Or you know.... Fenix 6? lol)

Sounds about right. Just disappointed in Garmin for their expendable view of their customers and lack of understanding for the customer expectations.
