Notifications - again ! as of 1 Sept

All notifications have been working fine since the last software upgrade several weeks ago , but since yesterday ( 1 Sept )  they have been an issue again . It seems that they work ok but then if I loose Bluetooth connection between phone and watch ( due to distance etc ) it doesn't then give any notifications when Bluetooth auto reconnects ?!  I have to manually reconnect the watch with the phone via the forcestop app or flight mode on/off methods ..then its says ' phone connected ' and notifications work again 

Anyone else experiencing the same ???  Has there been another software upgrade that has caused this ??
