When will be the sleep widget available?

The current sleeping tracking in F245 is quite inaccurate, and noticed that the FirstBeat sleeping algorithm has been deployed in some Garmin devices some months ago. Don't know any chance for F245? And any targeted schedule?

All,

Garmin strives to maintain products in the field by providing software updates that fix bugs and occasionally even provide new features that were not originally present. We regret that we cannot always…

I guess it was a lie in the end.

Exactly. The current sleeping algorithm seems quite inaccurate. For me, sleeping widget is not important, but I need an accurate sleeping algorithm.

Thanks, and hope it will be available for F245 soon.

Just stop hoping for it. We've been waiting for almost half a year.

It's coming according to Garmin, but no idea when.

Thanks, it's really too long to wait for half a year.

I could be (and hope that I am) wrong, but everything that I've read has said that it is coming to the 945 and 745 but NOT the 245.

Oh, if so, too bad. Anyone from Garmin can have some feedback here?

Check this thread where it was confirmed by Garmin-Brooks that it's coming to the 245:

Also waiting for a fix for PM5 support that is currently broken on the 245. DCR stated that Trail Running v02max will be coming to the 245 on his Enduro review, so yet another thing to wait for. DCR also thinks that the sleep update is coming very soon to Forerunners in his recent 745 post.

Aslam, thanks for the info. However, it was 6 months ago, hope the plan has not yet been changed......

That post tells nothing about 245 getting this. He says 745 will be the right device for this

Maybe im wrong. 245 will get new sleep tracking, but 745 will get advanced sleep tracking
