Upgraded 245?

Any rumors on an upgraded 245 coming out any time soon? 255?

I would like to see it have wi-fi capability like the Apple watch so if you are away from your phone and out of Bluetooth range you can still get your notifications on your watch.

What would you like to see?

    Some Garmin watches; like my 945, already have Wi-Fi. It's used to pass data from workouts, download music and CPE files, but it isn't used for notifications such as text, phone calls, email, etc.  What you're referring to is LTE (long-term evolution) cellar where the watch connects to the cellular service without the use of a phone.  This comes at a great cost to battery life, a mark up in price of the device and a user subscription from their cell provider. I too see a benefit of LTE, but potential buyers need to be aware of this info as it wouldn't be a simple add-on feature.
