The download of 18.42 beta contains the file for Systembackdate 1800, so this should do the job.

May I ask why you want to backdate? I was thinking about installing the beta but hesitated up to now.

Don't worry. It's absolutely normal in this forum that people blame Garmin/the watch first and don't give the information others would need to help them solve their issues!

I am having some battery drain. It is showing me -20% a day

Huge batterydrain is because of the beta-version. It is simply because on every update of the watch you have to power it off after installing the firmware.

In the meantime I installed 18.42 beta and the new Wifi software. I do not see any unusual battery drain. After the update, I charged the watch to 100%, switched it off, waited for 20s and switched it on again. I use only very few 3rd party apps, because they can often cause trouble like battery drain.

I think I found the culprit. I have recently replaced battery in my watch. It is an aftermarket one and it has probably less capacity than stated. I went back to original and battery life is ok. Battery widget shows 100% = 10d. Sorry for desinformation.
