I've started a list of bugs, requests, fixes and workarounds that I will to maintain. I personally have a D2 Delta device but I am unable to contribute to the list for anything that specifically/only affects the Delta S or the Delta PX.

I've bolded anything that would generally consider to be a serious issue that impedes use of the watch or included functionality (ie. reboots versus display or other issues). Reply below with comments and I'll keep the list updated.

Outstanding issues / bugs:

[WATCH] Altimeter hardware does not seem to properly handle rapid elevation changes, either from lag or hanging (also affects Fenix 5X+)
[WATCH] Running Dynamics drops out around two minute mark when phone is connected; workaround: disable connection to phone while running (also affects Fenix 5X+)
[GPS] cannot receive a GPS fix within the flight deck of an Airbus A-320 (and several other aircraft)
[WIDGETS] Altimeter widget ignores the widget configuration for display units of "feet" when general watch config is set to metric
[WIDGETS] METAR widget uses watch setting for METAR visibility -- add configuration option for "visibility" to "Aviation Units" section
[WIDGETS] METAR widget displays blanks screen if station (nearest or manually entered) does not have a published METAR (eg. CYCZ)
[WIDGETS] Temperature widget does not display the proper density altitude when using metric units on the watch
[CONNEXT] Garmin Pilot does not receive the altitude from the watch

Feature requests:

[WATCH] add support for Spotify
[WIDGETS] METAR widget only displays cloud coverage (sky) information when there is a measured ceiling but should display FEW and SCT when no ceiling is present

Fixed issues:

none at this time

Old issues [could not be confirmed or appear to work as expected]:

none at this time

Thanks, Douglas. I will test some of the features soon. I was hoping that this they would extend Spotify support with this update, but I don't see it. The Spotify app doesn't list D2 Delta series as compatible devices, either.

From the description of changes this might be based on the f5+ firmware V5.00. Spotify support was added there in V5.10.
