Says I need to allow Bluetooth but it is already allowed

Question

Trying to change alert settings so I don&rsquo;t get the constant connected, disconnected alerts non stop since the update but it keeps saying I need to allow Bluetooth in my phone setting ms for the app but it is already allowed. In the app In more and phone permissions it says Bluetooth is allowed so why can&rsquo;t I change my alert settings or any other settings. These constant connected/diaconnected alerts are driving me nuts!

It might be due to some power saving options on your phone, regularly enabling and disabling the BT connection. Or a conflict with Wi-Fi (both BT and Wi-Fi share the same frequencies, and some phones do not cope with it well, especially at BLE devices. 
 However, you can disable the phone connection alerts directly on the watch, you do not need any BT connection for that.

Depending on what watch you have, as trux stated, you can disable the connected alerts directly on the watch itself. You should be able to find it under System/Watch Settings> Notifications & Alerts> System Alerts> and either Phone (with a toggle option) or Connected alerts should disable that feature.
