    Great now add firstbeat sleep tracking to the VA4/Venu. The forerunner 245 is the same price or even cheaper than these devices, and got way more features since launch. More firstbeat features in training metrics, etc. The logic as to why the VA4/Venu don't get these even though they are at similar price points is because it is a lifestyle watch. Using that logic, then VA4/Venu should take priority over the 245 for sleep tracking.

    Yes. You know what's funny?

    Found it interesting how the FR245 got sleep tracking. The venu/va4 are in the same price bracket and are more targeted towards features like lifestyle, which sleep falls under. At this point, the 245 is probably the watch with the most value because of how many new firstbeat stuff got added on to it after its initial release. Kind of salty because the 245 already has way more firstbeat algorithms and isn’t even targeted towards “health/wellness/lifestyle” and is at a comparable price. In the case of the Venu, the 245 is less expensive. Lmao'd. They use the logic that the Venu doesn't have training effect and training load because it isn't a training watch, but the 245 gets confirmation of firstbeat sleep tracking coming to it? Then bring training load and training effect to the Venu/VA4 because *** doesnt make sense. You would assume that a device marketed towards lifestyle health and wellness  SLEEP Tracking would be higher on the priority list. *** this
