Is there any chance Garmin could add Training Readiness to the FR 255? I'm bringing it up again because honestly it makes no sense that this watch doesn't have it.
The 955 has the exact same sensors and it has Training Readiness. The Instinct 2 has it and that's a cheaper watch that's not even primarily focused on training. The 255 already tracks everything needed for this feature - HRV, sleep, recovery time, training load. All the data is there.
I get that companies need to differentiate their product lines, but this feels like an arbitrary software lock rather than an actual hardware limitation. The watch is perfectly capable of doing this. We already have HRV Status and Body Battery which are useful, but Training Readiness actually tells you in one score whether you should push hard or take it easy, which is exactly what a training-focused watch should do.
Has anyone from Garmin ever given an actual reason why this can't happen? Is it just a business decision or is there something technical I'm missing? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like the feature is being held back just to make people buy the more expensive model, even though the cheaper Instinct somehow got it.
