◦Added new Hands and Background analog watch face options (requires Display firmware version 2.90).

Use Settings > Sensors > Altimeter > Calibrate to calibrate the Altimeter to a known altitude.

◦Improved vibration profiles to be differentiated based on alert type.
◦Improved reliability of 'Weather' widget on iOS.
◦Improved ability to detect time zone changes without a GPS fix (requires connection to Garmin Connect Mobile app and time set to 'Auto' on device, Settings > System > Time > Set Time).
◦Improved activity tracking step calculation accuracy for certain use cases.
◦Fixed potential issue with a Foot Pod sensor dropping out as a source for speed.
