Garmin Connect Wont Connect with Pixel 9 Pro XL

I just got the new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL phone and my phone refuses to connect to the Garmin Connect app. The app doesn't even see the watch is trying to pair. This is very frustrating...

Ran into the same issue with my Pixel 9 XL after copying over content from my old Pixel. Ended up reinstalling Garmin Connect and re-pairing the watch. All then worked.

Had the same issue. Tried everything. Ended up having to factory reset my watch and it paired immediately

Same. Worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

I found potentially a better fix here. Ran into the same problem but realised the old Pixel is still switched on and connected to the watch. Went to Bluetooth on old phone, forget Venu2, disabled Bluetooth also on old phone and new Pixel 9 Pro XL found the watch straight away!

Even though system reset, it still doesn’t work, same. I restore from backup, is this bat?
