Forerunner 45S won’t Connect to Google Pixel 4

The first month I had the watch and the connection was fine. After an update to my phone I am no longer able to connect or sync any of my activity. It seems this is a known problem and I’m surprised Garmin hasn’t resolved the issue. Has anyone found a fix?
I’ve disconnected, forgot the connection and repaired but nothing seems to work. I shouldn’t have to log into a computer to see my stats. I’m also reporting this to Google for Pixel maybe they will fix before Garmin. If anyone has a solution please let me know

There are countless of issues that can cause connectivity problems (and mostly on the side of the phone or the user), so there is no one-fit-all quick fix

Check the Sync / Connection Troubleshooting Guide to get an idea how many things can go wrong

Did you get this working? I'm considering buying a Pixel as my current phone does not work with Garmin; however, I would hate to find myself in a similar situation after spending an additional 600AUD!

Actually yes I did! Unfortunately, I don't recall the full steps. But after searching online enough the fix was within the watch and doing a long press and manipulating some settings. I love my Pixel and my Garmin is buzzing now from messages as I type this.

That's great :) From my sleuthing over various threads it looks like the Pixel and Garmin work well together.
