    Got the update overnight and am experiencing constant disconnects from Jaybird Vista earbuds.  I had no problems with 5.0 or 5.09.  I did not install 5.15 after hearing other people having this issue.

    Well, it's quite simple and logic. They need testers but a very tiny tiny fraction of users are installing beta ( I did only once) when servers would be overloaded with the production firmware.

    Just want to thank everyone at Garmin for this unexpected and very cool firmware.  Garmin seems to be taking a longer term software support view re: features, and it makes me feel good about buying their products.  Just bought the Index S2 today, actually!    :-D  Thanks all!

    I'm highly doubting the amount of people willing to upgrade manually.
    I'm highly doubting that the cloudflare would have any problems serving that.

    download.garmin.com is an alias for download.garmin.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.

    APAC is its own software. This release can be for months at 100% and you could see anything of it on your watch because you will never get ROW releases.

    Any chance to see the instant pace behaviour fixed? (i.e. running with a displaied instant pace around 5.20 min/km then get a 5.05 min at the end of the km).

    Still same problem with current pace. In my case mostly on tree covered stretches. Lap pace comes10-20sec/km better than current pace.

    the same for me. All versions up to 5.09 worked flawlessly, I had no disconnections with my Jaybird Vista for years. Since 5.15 Beta and 5.20 I have lost connections about 5-15 times an hour. Then I have to open the music page during the run, but not too quickly, and start the music again. The connection is then re-established and continues until the next connection breakdown. Totally annoying

    My watch still hasn't updated, and it is not an APAC watch.

    no probs here with Jabra 65, new firmware works perfect for me!

     if you got a new Garmin Firmware Update, don’t forget to make the hard reset after each installation (press 15sec the light button), after the watch switched off a second firmware installation process runs!
