Edge 1050 refuses to "see" samsung galaxy watch hr monitor

  • I have the galaxy watch 6 with the heart for bt app installed.

Phone is not paired to the watch

I have tried to pair the watch as a ble hr monitor with the 1050, but it does not "see" the watch. 

Hr function works fine when using bike trainer app on an android tablet.

Clearly, the 1050 does not "play nice" with samsung.

Garmin Moderator: can you bring this up as a fw change request?
