I noticed that the bug is still present when accessing the stress widget (possibly others also?), my Varia light still turns on erroneously, this drains the battery and is mildly annoying. I was excited when this was mentioned as I thought that I could finally have all my sensors paired to the watch, but sadly this is not the case.
Does anyone else observe this also, I hope someone from Garmin acknowledges otherwise I will have to submit a support ticket.
