Garmin Fenix 8 51 AMOLED not binding with Pixel 9 Pro XL?

Just got the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and it won't let me bind my Garmin Fenix 8 51 AMOLED via bluetooth. Any one have this issue and/or a solution? Thank you.

    I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with this. If you are having pairing concerns, I would recommend the following troubleshooting. 

    • Ensure the phone's OS is on the latest version
    • Be sure as well, that the watch software is up to date using Garmin Express. 
    • Next, I would recommend trying to pair this with the phone again, from scratch with these steps: 
    1. Uninstall the Connect Mobile app
    2. Clear the phone cache and history
    3. Ensure the watch does not appear in the phone's Bluetooth menu. If it is, please remove the device
    4. Powercycle the watch and phone.
    5. Reinstall the Connect Mobile app
    6. Try the pairing again ( Be sure there are no other Bluetooth enabled device nearby)
    • If this is still not pairing, I would recommend completing a factory reset with these steps: 
    1. Ensure the watch is powered off.
      • You may need to hold LIGHTfor up to 30 seconds to turn the watch off.
    2. Press and hold BACK and START/STOP.
    3. Press LIGHT to power the watch on while holding these two buttons.
    4. After the first beep release START/STOP.
    5. After the second beep release the remaining button.
