Will 945 get F6 features?

After the uproar of F5+ owners not getting features included in the 945, it’s time to ask whether the 945 will get the new F6 features/screens:

The Forerunner 245/245M/945 will all get PacePro. The FR945 will also get widget glances and map themes (including popularity/heatmaps). TBD/TBA for the FR945 on getting power/battery…

PacePro, Widget glances, new ClimbPro gradient, Map Themes, 6 data fields per page are all confirmed for FR945 this fall at latest.

I would like 6 data on one page as on screens with F6 on my FR945. I know i can use custom CIQ field but still i have more trust for build in fields (not to crash) and i assume battery would be better…

Yeah, I'm seeing Not Compatible when trying. Before I was just creating the Plans. Hopefully we get it and the Widget Glances soon.

Yeah. Idea has good potential and making that scale change the pace much more isn't big change and I would guess that people will want it, as it was the first thing I noticed that it doesn't seem to be nowhere near enough.

Unfortunately from the watch point of view can't test it :)

For the question: “I hope FR945 will not be forgotten soon and gets some love (6 datafields on screen, new widgets)” Ray replied: “It's receiving the vast majority of features. The exact timelines aren't known yet.”, source Facebook post

I want the F6 font. It looks more burly.

I'm mostly interested in the power modes/power manager (I'm a backpacker/hiker/climber).

The 945 is out in the 'wild' so it makes sense to do some additional testing with that device in the hands of multiple users. Do you really think there has been no testing of these features before the release of the F6? You can already see the benefits of developing the technology on the 945 at the same time as readying the F6 for release. Haven't we all seen an improvement in the WHR? Even with my myopic view, I am more than happy to admit that the 945 WHR is almost to the point where I'm considering ditching the strap.

And a bit more updates. The FR945 will get update to 6 data fields per page, and new ClimbPro gradient coloring. For all new battery modes/manager features, they're TBD on that, maybe/maybe not. The FR245 will get swim optical HR (FR945 has already in beta). This fall at latest.
