Forerunner 235 Not able to sync

I have been having trouble syncing my forerunner with my mobile app. It worked very well untill the end of June. Now I cannot transfer or upload any of my information. I have reset my watch and phone as well as reinstalled the app software but still no success. What other options do I have?

    Wife and I had the same issue just yesterday.

    Turn off bluetooth on phone.
    Turn off bluetooth on watch.

    Let sit for at least 30 seconds.

    Turn back on bluetooth on phone.
    Turn back on bluetooth on watch.

    Open app.

    I forced the sync with my iphone6 and app under devices on the app and it worked. Wife just let the app do it on it's own and in about 1 min it auto sync'd as it normally did before.

    My wife had same issue as well. We had both just loaded the latest app on our phones yesterday morning and our watches would not sync. This seemed to fix it. Not sure why but it worked for us. Hope you have the same luck.

    unable to use bluetooth

    I have similar issues. Sync works only sporadically at best. Now, the bluetooth won't connect at all (stopped yesterday afternoon after a run. I have turned off bluetooth on both the watch and my phone, in multiple orders (including as indicated above).

    I've only had the 235 for 11 days, and my phone is the Moto X 2nd gen, running Android 6.0. I updated to the latest watch software when I got it on 7/7/16.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: I did not mention: on the watch, when I try to connect the bluetooth. It says "Status" then below that "Waiting to connect". It will stay that way for hours.
