What phone OS version do you have? This is just as likely to be a problem with your phone as the watch.

When you say your "bluetooth is disconnected", how is it getting disconnected? Do you mean your phone and watch get too far apart, you disable the bluetooth on your watch, disable bluetooth on your phone? Or something else?

I am a few months into a VA4, use bluetooth on it every day (enable/disable multiple times per day), and have never seen it lose the pairing and require a pairing code. I'm curious what the difference is.

I have Samsung S20fe on Android 11 and VA4 I do have set up bixby routines to turn off Bluetooth when in airplane mode and when I'm not driving.

Basically when I get home Wifi gets connected a d Bluetooth goes off.

When I hope in car WiFi signal drops and Bluetooth comes back on.

Trying so save battery and also don't want some connection be always on.

I have kind of the same issue and it drives me nuts. Every time my iPhone is too far from my watch and the bluetooth connection drops, it won’t reconnect. Have to “Forget this device”, then repair etc. With my previous iPhone it worked fine.

I am using an iPhone 13 with iOS 16.1

How can I fix this??
