My epix gen 2 won't connect to my hidden wifi network

My epix gen 2 won't connect to my WiFi network, which is hidden (ssid not broadcasted). I've tried adding it manually, didn't work, tried again broadcasting the ssid, watch connected, disabled broadcast again and watch won't connect anymore.

Believe it's a bug?!

Cheers,

Rodrigo

    Un-hide your network. Does not add any security at all to hide it.
