Beta software update - 8.40

Got this OTA delivered a couple days ago, and it seems to have fixed my issue if battery draining randomly through the day. Would be interesting to know what was the ChangeLog

Unfortunately, it didn't for me and others who installed the update. Garmin-Inder can you offer some clues about what the 8.40 brings, please?

I agree and this is why I'm not considering Garmin as a replacement. Coros Apex 2 Pro seems like a better watch if you're not dependent on Garmin Pay.

there are third-party services that can sync between the two. Runalyze is pretty good, but Coros can also import directly your Garmin history support.coros.com/.../7708736140948-How-to-bulk-import-workout…

I wish I could, but I cannot find that software build anywhere. Even if I did, Garmin's automatic update means that it will be overwritten in a couple of days. I just don't understand why Garmin refuses to revert firmware to a working build. Even 7.80 was pretty good, or at least not killing the batteries.

I'm afraid it's silentio stampa at Garmin, even if you talk to support you won't get an explanation or solution.

I asked the same question for 8.30 and they did not reply. They will not reply to your question either.
