We are releasing software version 9.60 for the Forerunner 245 series.
Forerunner 245 (non-music):
- Added enhanced strength functionality, which includes improved UI in free mode and workouts, and improvements to the rep and weight editing experience.
- Improvements made to on-device sleep detection and sleep staging.
- Improvements made to Run/Walk/Idle detection algorithm, particularly when detecting when the user has stopped.
- Added the Resting Heartrate True-Up feature. RHR data now gets trued-up so that all devices tied to the same account will have the same RHR value.
- Added a new tip to notify the user that the Wrist Heart Rate Sensor is disabled. This tip will be displayed whenever accessing a heartrate-related glance while the wrist heartrate sensor is turned off on the device.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
