Forerunner 255 Music - Delay in showing screen when starting an activity?

I actually have exactly these issues. Really slow performance on intervals switches, takes around 10 seconds till my watch notifies me the interval has ended/started and also it takes about a minute of running till the interval pace on the watch matches my actual pace. 

Really slow to switch between intervals, too, thanks for adding that.

Very disappointed, and I haven't been able to contact anyone at Garmin yet.

Which FW do you use?? Have beta 17.21 and never heard about such behavior. What is "wrong pace calls"?

https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?productID=780196&tab=topics&topicTag=region_training - you can chat every time, or do they avoid you?

"Wrong pace calls" means the following: I was in a structured workout, and the current segment was a speed interval @ ~4'20''/km. And the audio prompt called for a pace of 5'45''/km.

The software version on my 255 is 17.24. Where can I check the firmware version? Is it different?

Chatting has proven to be... not very effective. Their answers are slow and sporadic, and so far they have instructed me to do things I had already done (e.g. updating the watch via Express, turning it off and on, etc.). But I will get back to them, probably tomorrow for more troubleshooting.

It was same to me on beta fw 16.17 or so. But the voice want that i do 10.40 pace and on display was 4.10 :D. I done bug report and it's gone with a new version.

To see your FW long press middle button, then once more short to System -> About.

I have these issues and contacted support.  They encouraged me to enroll in the Beta software program and said their engineers were able to replicate the issue.  It should be resolved on the next software update.

I checked that out, and it just says "Software Version 17.24", no mention of firmware version. These are probably the same, aren't they?

Fwiw I'm still running 16.19. Do you still have the delay issue on 17.24?

I am slightly confused about the delay you mention. Do you mean the green play symbol that shows some seconds when you start the activity, with the watch running under it? I think that is intentional. I have never thought about it as a delay.
