Unreliable connection with phone FR245 SW4.40

Seems like since my FR 245 updated to 4.40, it often requires my action to connect to my iPhone XR and sync. I regularly need to reset my watch, cycle my phone’s Bluetooth, or restart my phone to get it to connect to Garmin Connect. I’ve even had to unpair and repair the watch a handful of times.

Anyone else seeing such an unreliable connection with the new FR245 software push?

Hello, yes I have the same problem. I often have to switch bluetooth on and off again for my Watch to sync

i am still on 3.30 and have this issue. i just turn off the watch and restart it and it connects.

I have been having this issue for weeks. I regularly - daily - have to reset the connection between the 245 and the Connect application (iOS). It is annoying me. I am looking for a fix, but one is not apparent.

I upgraded to the 4.41 beta software. It seems to be marginally better with the connection. Battery drain is still an issue.

You can find the 4.41 beta instructions here: forums.garmin.com/.../1050314

I'll give this approach a try. Thanks

I have been having similar Bluetooth connection problems between the FR245 and the iPhone. This build doesn't seem to be anymore stable in this regard.
