HRM update keeps popping up?

This update pops up in my update queue from time to time, why?

Are you removing any files from the device?

No. Also the watch reports the band to be on v3.40 already

edit: I use to have auto update turned off, but will now leave it on for some days to see what happends…

While autoupdate was enabled on the watch i did not see it, but now when there's a new firmware around the corner and I've therefore disabled updates it appears again... Very annoying, and I suspect that it also slows down my sync when activated?

Don't think so, I had a look at the Android logs while syncing various devices, all received a list of updates every time they synced, no matter if there were updates for them or not. Even the Fenix 2. When auto-update is on and you get a bigger update, then that will be noticeable. From what I saw updates over BLE are delta's - only differences between what's installed and what's new - so not the full ~12 Mb package, so it should not be that bad (but in my case they often stall and restart and take days to complete, so I set auto update to off).

[Disclaimer, this is a guess:] Quite often people mention that a downgrade fixes issues, and I'm beginning to think that is not always the actual older software version that fixes things, but that a downgrade is always a full install, which can fix problems that may occur when multiple delta's are installed on top of each other all the time.
