Are new features coming to the FR745?

Anyone know if some/all of the newly announced features will be ported from the new FR255 and FR955 to the FR745 such as:

HVR

Daily Training Readiness

Acute Training Load

Morning Report

Native Running Power

Race Calendar and Race Event Widgets

Daily Suggested Workouts Now Accounting For Races On The Calendar

Phone Based Config

    That would be sweet. Following…

    Fingers crossed! 745 is really in the sweet spot in terms of size for me, and I'd appreciate for it to be 'current' for a little longer.

    Even if the new HRV features are reliant on the new HR sensor and cannot come over, it would still be very nice to see the racing widget and improved workout suggestions make an appearance on the 745.

    Considering the price of the 745 was $50 more than the 955 at launch I really hope they bring these features to the watch.  One reason I can see them not is that monitoring your HRV 24/7 would drain the battery greatly and the battery in this unit is not great to start with..

    I wouldnt count on it, also DC rainmaker said that is unlikely new features will drop on fenix 6 or 945..

    I also don't think these features will come to the 745 because I guess the new heart rate sensor is needed for that.

    Cant hide my disappontment though, this device was supposed to be high tier, released in september 2020 … 255 will cost less, has much more battery and features .

    Why would they undercut sales of the 255 by bringing the same features to the 745?

    Yeah that's quite new still and I remember thinking it was overpriced but I got a bargain new for £180 on ebay. I switched to 945LTE but the 745 I loved the size of it better than 245 and 945LTE. It had the best watch face too and best GPS. I think they would support it with new features if it had the gen4 sensor but it was just a very very good watch for the size at the time. Still can't beat it Garmin Pay and 43mm.

    ...I bought it for more than 400€ in the beginning of 2021 - I have a small wrist, so 43mm suit me better than the huge epix or 945 / 955. I expect / hope that garmin will deliver an update providing us with all new features that are possible with the "old" sensor... 2 years of feature - updating should be the absolute minimum, since garmin faces a strong competition (not only from coros, polar etc, but also from apple...)
