Garmin vivoactive 4s keeps disconnecting

Just rcently this has started happening -

Thje Vivoactive is on 8.30

A few things are really irritating about this -

I see this is an ongoing iussue from over three years ago - so its not a software version issue unless your release notes actually say it addresses the poor retention of connectivity issue so stop saying please update the software ubnlkess you can specifically say your developers are addressing the issue

it says theres a device registered to my garmin account but not connected so lets readd it - \

Then it makes me reselect all the first setup items again , sends me the welcome email for registering my device , then shows me the Learn more basic steps

The software knows its already been done stop it

I cant be bothered setting up garmin pay - if I have to keep doing it every week

I've checked all my other devices and they do not have the Vivo Active - BUT you need to do something to show why the device is forgotten - if its another device that the watch connected to show me something about it -

Same issue. And it can’t find my watch when I try to reconnect. Considering getting a new non garmin watch bc without the app this is essentially just a step counter

Same issue, bummed to see no answer. When I try to reconnect it can’t find my watch and I have to forget everything and repair like it’s new. Not paired with any other devices and totally up to date on both. I have an iPhone 13. Thinking of getting a non garmin device since there doesn’t appear to be any solution. Without the app this is just a fancy step counter!

I did also find some reported issues on forgetting Bluetooth for my watch a pixel, so with two vendors involved I can see neither ever accepting fault. It's still happening and still reported by multiple people.

My headphones, computer and tablet never disconnect from the phone so I doubt the relevance of the reports about my pixel
