Not all BLE Devices found by scanning

Having several BLE Sensors and wanting to display their data on-screen of the watch. Scanning for the BLE Sensor returns all kinds of apple devices, but not the sensor i'm looking for.

Both sensors contain Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy chips. 

One of the older sensors still has a static LE mac address and shows up in the scan. NRF Connect shows this device as "Classic and LE Capable".

The newer sensors do not show up on the scan, and are shown in NRF Connect as "LE Only".

I have attempted to 'spoof' the newer sensor to appear as a device capable of both, but no luck.

If anyone could shed some light on this issue and perhaps a solution that would be great!

    I fully agree with you, randomization is a big issue if you want to connect such a device to your Garmin... I am not able to connect my device natively because it has randomization and I hoped that using Connect iQ could solve this issue but it seems it is not the case... I wanted to verify with Jim's app but it doesn't work on my Fenix 5... Did you tried Jim's app on your side ? I don't want to have to buy a Garmin Edge X30 head unit just for checking this point if it doesn't work afterwards...
