will an update ever allow connection to a power meter
Former Member
My watch does everything I would ever want besides reading my power meter. I feel like a software update could fix this. Or do I need to upgrade my watch to get that feature?
Since the Forerunner 245 is primarily a running watch, it doesn't talk to power meters. I would not expect any firmware update to add power meter support. If you need that, you'll have to get a different watch (945, for instance)
I figured as much. If you think about it the 245 has Bluetooth and my power meter is Bluetooth. Garmin is just not allowing a connection. There is internal storage available also.
There are several CIQ data fields that allow connections of power meters. Stryd is the best known but there are also generic ones that allow connections of bike power meters.
CIQ apps have had the ability to directly talk to ANT sensors for some time, but talking directly to BLE is very new, so you probably won't find a CIQ app that does that yet.
