I have a weird Bluetooth problem with my Pixel on Android 15

I have a weird Bluetooth problem. I wiped my Pixel to install Android 15 after running the beta

I installed the Connect app, signed in, and I don't remember if I paired the watch or not. The phone and watch see each other, sync, I get messages sent from the phone

I can't see the watch in the Bluetooth devices, so I can't use it to keep the phone unlocked. I can't unpair it, it's not listed as a Bluetooth device. Trying to repair from the watch just causes it to sync with the phone

I've cleared caches, uninstalled the Connect app and reinstalled it. I've rebooted both devices

Idk how to fix this, anyone know?

Remove from GCM. Remove from Bluetooth devices. Restart both. Re-pair via GCM.

Remove the phone from your watch before that, too.

Thank you for your reply.

I can't remove it from the phone's Bluetooth devices because it's not showing there. That's the problem

I removed the device from the Garmin Connect app, deleted the app, restarted the phone and the watch. I re-paired it with the phone. It syncs with the phone but still doesn't appear in the Bluetooth device list on the phone. When it re-pairs it doesn't ask to verify the code number on the watch, it's skipping that step. idk if Garmin removed that step or there's still something cached somewhere?

How do I do that? When I deleted the watch from the Garmin Connect app it was no longer on the watch. Is there somewhere different than the watch-settings-phone place I should look?

I was playing with the watch settings, disconnected it from the phone and reconnected it. 2-3 minutes later the connect app decided the watch wasn't fully connected. It went through the full setup and now I can see it

Idk, posting this in case someone else runs into this issue. I'm sure I tried that a couple of times yesterday. Idk why it worked today

I'm experiencing the same with my Fenix 6S and pixel 9 pro running android 15. I have to reconnect then several times a day

I reported the issue to Google, and the response was that they are aware of the issue and it will be fixed with the next monthly update
