vivoactive 3 SW 7.40 is live

Oh nice. An update with all the fixes we where asking for....

Does this address the battery drain issue?

That was fixed in v7.3

Apparently not, I'm on 7.4 and the battery lasts only for less than 10 hours. 2 weeks ago, it lasts for about 5 days.

still no solution for the battery? pffff 
I just got contacted back by garmin product support. They want to offer me another one for 108 eur... not going to do that as it clearly is due to a software update.

I like Garmin but at this rate I’m switching if they don’t fix something soon.

I want to roll back ASAP, I'd rather charge my battery every 3 days than have a *** quality watch face that I can barely read. How do I opt out of this ridiculous battery life extending update?

This software version 7.40 does NOT fix the battery drain issue.

This did absolutely nothing to address the barometer issue of logging incorrect elevation gain.  I'd like to know each item that the software update resolves but I cannot find that information.  I used to love this company and their products! I now plan to switch to the new Apple Watch this fall.
