Because I am a glutton for punishment and apparently have no sense of better judgement, mine should arrive Thursday.

Excellent!
The Tread 2 is a positive improvement over previous models, in our opinion.

I'm hoping those positive improvements include Garmin's ever horrible pogo charging system. Not sure why they can't do wireless charging, or hardwired with a barrel type screw connector. I've had pogo/charging issues with every one of my previous Garmins on multiple motos: 66i, Zumo XT, 700i, Tread BE #1 #2 #3. But aside from that I've loved my Tread, so we shall see.

Please consider sharing a copy of the
GarminDevice.
xml file from your Tread 2 before you install any updates, just the way it arrives in the box.
This file is located here on your Tread 2:
Internal Storage/Garmin/GarminDevice.
xml.
It will help with the upcoming wiki. Thank you.
