Waiting to Connect message sometimes

Former Member over 9 years ago

I have had the 235 for about two weeks. Sometimes it stays connected just fine. Other days like today, I go into Controls on the watch and the blue tooth just says "Waiting to Connect". I have the app on my phone open and blue tooth is turned on there. Sometimes it seems to resolve itself by charging the watch. But that doesn't mean this issue is caused by a low battery. It shows that it has about two thirds of its battery left.
How do I know if it needs to be returned?

I've had this happen to me as well. Try closing the GC app and turning off BT on the phone. Then turn everything back on and try again. That has worked for me (iPhone - Andriod might be different).

Unless it's happening all the time i don't think this is a watch problem. More of a "phone + BT + watch can be a bit temperamental sometimes" thing.

This has happened to me a few times but I don't think the battery level has anything to do with it. I'm using an Android phone and all I've had to do is close the GC app and then open it again and it works fine. Hope it's that simple for you.
