After update to 19.18, have similar issue, watches keeps trying to update every time I take it off my wrist, (disconnect from PC), have checked previous answers in this forum also.

System setting shows correct versions of all BMX, WHR, Sensor Hub, also a HR sensor and all seems working as previous, only update pops out.

    Reject such an update.
    Turn off automatic updates in the watch settings.
    Also, delete the 006D856710.gcd file from the Garmin /RemoteSW folder

    If you agree and continue with these updates, you may experience a situation where the SensorHub version = 0.01 is broken first, and then the subsequent sensors will be reset to zero.

    If you have a situation in which after each connection to the PC you are offered an update without a signed version number, this is the beginning of a failure in the main firmware, which can be followed by failures in the version numbers of other sensors. Monitor the situation.

    If Garmin makes a firmware rollback (return) option available, it will be the easiest solution for users to resolve these types of issues.

    Again, replacing the watch with a new one in official representative offices is still Garmin's position in cases of software failure.
