Only Pairs with iPhone if I keep Connect App Open

Do we have a solid fix for this?  I've tried all the things, and nothing works.  Resetting my watch to factory defaults, pairing, unpairing, deleting app and reinstalling, restarting phone, resetting network settings.  I really don't want to have to leave the Connect App open on my phone all the time in order for it to remain connected.  Looks like this is a forever long issue?

  • Iphones applications do not automatically close themselves.  Your software is crashing and closing the app, which disconnects the device.  Your customers bought this device under the agreement that your software works. 

    On a separate issue, it is absolutely absurd that the Connect app requires and internet connects to sync from the watch to the app.  Outdoors activities occur outside of cell signal.  Great product, but these two issues give Garmin a bad name, not only because their awful, but because will a little effort they could be corrected.
