This software version 7.40 does NOT fix the battery drain issue.
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.
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?
Yes...
Garmins hint to wait 30s before starting the activity is BS. Even if i wait 5 minutes (for my gf...) the altimeter shows always an drop of 100m in the first 10 minutes.
And i clean my watch regulary, there is nothing on the barametric hole.
Same issue with altimeter. Waiting more than 1 minute to start an activity and sensor port clean. The altitude of the finish point is always 70-100 meters lower than the starting point in round trips. According to my watch I always run downhill.
same issue with me, before 7.4 i have to charge it avery 3-4 days, now it last max 14hours when i'm sitting in the couch. Garmin please rollback to 7.3.
Many times this can be solved by just rebooting the watch. Hold the button until the watch turns itself off and then turn it back on. Charging to 100% at that point may also help.
Same problem over here.. reset/reboot/fully charge etc doesn’t work with firmware 7.3 everything was fine, except the barometer.
7.40 has been the worst in terms of draining battery. Less than 8 hours.
