Unable to pair S70 with Iphone

Hi , i have S70 for quite sometime. One fine day, the watch somehow unable to pair with my iphone. Kept getting the "We're having problems talking to the Garmin Connect server. Try again"

I have done multiple things as below:

- Restart Phone

- Restart Watch

- Reset Data on Watch and Phone

- Uninstall GGA , log out and log in again , remove S70 device from my account , remove S70 from bluetooth settings on my phone

- Tried to use another iphone to pair

- Connect watch to Garmin Express and updated everything

What should i do now? Should i just bring to the service centre? I am not sure if updating it to the latest software made it this way.

Removing from the watch from the iPhone settings app > Bluetooth > Tap the ( i ) icon next to the name of your watch in the previously paired device list for your iPhone > Select the "Forget this Device" option from the next screen > Tap "Pair Phone" in the Connectivity settings menu directly on your watch > Take a photo of the QR code and complete the device setup through the Garmin Golf app and the S70 should pair with no issues.

Hi Cody, I have already done all those. Brought it back to the AD and they swap a new one for me as they are also not able to fix the issue. The new one worked like a charm. Thanks guys.

I tried your suggested fix and when I try to sync the S79 with the Connect app I get this screen…

Hello. I’m having the exact same error and have tried everything suggested. The chat agent believes its a setting on my phone. I do not and have followed everyone suggestion they’ve given. My next step is to call. But I know I’m going to be asked to do all these steps again. I’m infuriated by the circular response. How do I get to the next level of support.

Good morning. Ultimately, I tried every suggested fix through interactions with chat agents and online. Nothing worked. I finally called the helpline and explained all steps I had taken. In the end, they replaced the watch. It arrived yesterday and within minutes, everything was working perfectly.
