Garmin Pairing Instinct Solar 2 Surf with Android Phone

By now, I have skimmed through all of the forum posts with similar issues to no avail, so i am posting myself.

I got this watch 3 weeks ago, it paired correctly and effortlessly ton the first day. Yesterday night, i go to sleep as usual and i noticed this morning that my watch was nto paired with my phone anymore. Going into the Connect app, i tried to connect again but it kept failing at the pairing step, without giving me a 6-digit code on the watch.

Does anyone have an idea of new things to try, because i went through everything in the troubleshooting guide...

Linked below are screenshots of the 3 steps that occur everytime I try to pair: it finds the watch but won't finish the setup.

What I tried:

  • turn watch/phone/bluetooth off and on again.
  • Reinstall Garmin Connect (v4.72 as of today, and also 4.71 using an apk)
  • Factory reset the watch.
  • Plug in PC, use garmln express
  • Check activity .tif files for corruption

Thank you for the help
