Try rebooting your phone. When my watch stops getting updates it's been my iPhone X's issue so far or at least a reboot fixes it.

Thanks for reply Rob . I went through all the suggested ( most I had previously checked too ) but still no joy .

I do get a ‘ phone connected / disconnected ‘ notification on the watch when I’m in/out of reach of Bluetooth etc ;but noessages / WhatsApp , email , phone ring etc notification . I was getting all these yesterday though and not had a software update to anything that may of caused this issue .

You might need to clear the pairing history between the watch and the phone. Go into your Bluetooth settings on your phone and forget the Garmin device. Uninstall and Reinstall both the Garmin Connect app and Garmin Golf app. Reboot your phone. Reset your watch:

Select Menu > Settings > System > Restore Defaults > Yes

Once the watch has booted back up (may take several minutes) follow the set up prompts on the watch. Once it gets to the pair phone step, install the Garmin Golf app and follow the prompts to repair it, make sure to allow smart notifications. You can then install the Garmin Connect app.
