Vivoactive 3 s/w 6.60 just hit my watch

No official announcement yet that I'm aware of. Anyone know what's new?

Thanks!

    Vivoactive3 - max 3 days when notifications from the phone are off and without GPS.
    When I turn on notifications and GPS 1 hour / day - max two days.

    I gave my current Vivoactive2 HR to my son - this smartweed calmly withstood the whole week on one charge.

    Additionally, I noticed that Vivoactive3 does not measure elevation well.
    Example: I compared my Etrex35t and vivoactive3 (also with Vivoactive2 HR)  during one ride on the bike.

    Vivoactive3 shows always 20% less height increase each time!
    i.e: elevations gain on Garmin eTrex 35t:
    eTrex: 127m,  VA3 95m,         
    eTrex 402m, VA3: 327m
    (one trip, two activities on my account.  the rest distanse, velocity is almost the same - only big difference with elevation gain).

    This is a nonsense.

    I intend to return this smartwach to the store and withdraw from the purchase contract.

    on my VA3 - battery drain is between 1.7-2.1 %/ hr
    Horrible!!!!.

    (when turned all off: BT, notifications, hr): 1.3-1.5% / hr

    On my old VA2 HR: 0.3% / hr (all activities was on: bt, notifications. hr, pulse,...)

    I can not compare to the previous firmware on VA3 - because, I have bought my VA3 as new device 2 weeks ago.
    Firtst connections with my account and the firmware was updating to the 6.6).
    If the 6.4 was better - I'd like to roll back the firmware.
