Hydration widget only syncs in one specific scenario

I have a 945 and use the hydration widget. I notice a weird problem with syncing that I hope someone can confirm and then correct. I can only sync hydration with connect if I open the widget while I'm connected to my phone (Android) via bluetooth. That is the only way to get it to sync. I would expect hydration to sync when I sync via WiFi, Bluetooth, or when plugged into my computer even if I don't open the widget but that isn't the case.

Can this be fixed so it syncs whether I open the widget mid-sync or not?

The watch should also remember my hydration and sync history. If I track hydration or 5 days and then sync on the 6th day I would expect all my past hydration to sync up but if I don't sync every night after I'm done drinking water I lose the history.

I really like the addition of the widget but as it is I can't really use it as I'd like.

Every time I open the Hydration widget on my 945 is starts syncing to Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) but the sync is finished only if GCM is open on the phone. If I don't want to get my phone in my hands and open GCM then I can hit the back button to cancel syncing and I can add hydration intake. However if I do this and go for a run and sync with GCM then the already recorded intake is restored to last synced value of the same day.

I have reported this issue to Garmin support in March, no update since just some time taking questions and no technical info in the first few weeks. I was asking for a real update but no response for the last three weeks. It's a shame.
