Unreliable notifications since upgrade to 7.00

Since upgrading to software 7.0 notifications from a smartphone (with latest iOS) are not even close as reliable as they were in version 6.0, they are not showing in at least 1/3 of cases ... Anyone else experiencing this? Already rebooted the phone & watch, not helping ...

    Same here.
    Watch regularly disconnects (without warning) and then does not show notifications. Sometimes a phone reboot will fix, sometimes not. Very very unstable...
  • Same here, seems that the watch can't stay connected to phone...

    I've owned every different Fenix model from basically day one of release to now including my 5x. This issue has seemed pretty consistently bad for me. I'm also always on the latest iPhone and on the latest iOS (but pretty much never betas). It seemed like in the early days, maybe through the Fenix 3, *usually* the watch needed a power cycle to get it working again. Since then, it's *usually* the iPhone that seems to need a reboot to get things working again.

    The later releases of 6.x also seemed to not like to automatically sync workouts over bluetooth, but would sync if I opened the app and manually fired it off. Assuming connectivity hasn't dropped like mentioned above, with 7.x it seems like automatic uploads are much better again. But yeah, I'm still fairly often having to reboot my phone if I want notifications. This is with an iPhone X on the latest iOS.

    I'd say it's getting old, but I'm used to it since it's pretty much always done this.
