Connect and bluetooth connection

Dont get me started

Bought a fenix 3 HR last week. Paired and synced with my lumia 735 windows phone. Charged and updated the fenix 3 using my PC. Noticed my phone battery had seemed to drain rather quickly with notifications on. The next day watch wouldn't pair, turned phone off and on again and paired as soon as the phone had booted. Tried to sync several times before I successfully synchronised. Phone went from full charge in the morning to less than 20% by night time, it usually lasts over 2 days on a full charge using microsoft band with notifications. Went to a festival over the weekend so turned off notifications. This morning tried to sync, the bar moved all the way from left to almost the right side taking minutes and finished with a sync failed message. Tried several more times without success.
I turned off bluetooth on phone and when I turned it back on, the fenix 3 failed to connect. I had to turn my phone off and on again, fenix 3 was connected as soon as the phone had finished booting. But it still failed to sync in over 20 attempts.

This almost renders my fenix 3 useless.

I am not use if this an issue with the Edge 25, Garmin Connect or the fact I am using a new phone (Samsung S7) as they were all roughly updated at the same time.

anyone else having issues?

Do you have location services turned on? You need that for Android 6.
