Fenix 5 Plus - Device disappearing off Garmin Connect

Hi,

So I bought a Fenix 5 Plus just under a week ago. I love the watch, but I'm having an annoying problem with it. 3 times so far, I've had to re-pair the device to the Garmin Connect app. I first noticed this problem when I was no longer receiving notifications on my watch, despite my phone sounding on an incoming text. When I open the app, there is no device listed at the top right - so I have had to add it again.

It seems to have happened a lot in such a short time of ownership - it sounds like a small problem, but for the cost of this watch, I shouldn't have to be re-pairing. My old Fitbit which I upgraded from didn't need pairing more than once in 2 years of ownership.

Has anybody else experienced this problem? Garmin support advised that I do a software reset, which I'm quite reluctant to do as I have configured the watch to my requirements. I really don't want to return this watch but don't want to keep encountering this problem.

Kind regards,
Ash

    I'm having the exact same issue with my Vivomove since the Garmin Connect software was updated to verion 4.12.3 in October.

    I can pair my device and sync but as soon as the app closes the device disappears.

    I've left a review advising Garmin of this and emailed the developers but no response or update has been received which is a little disappointing.

    I have uninstalled 4.12.3 and side loaded the previous version 4.11 which works perfectly.
