Very frustrating indeed. After more then an hour messing around it works again, This huge stabiity problem and Garmin should fix this immediately!
This is what I did to fix, best practice from my experience…
For all the Pixel 3XL owners out there:
My Forerunner 645M looses connection with my Pixel 3XL every few days.
In order to restore connection, go into phone Bluetooth settings, forget the 645M watch. Restart both the phone and watch. Then set the watch manually in pair mode (hold left side middle button, then Settings>Phone>Pair Phone). Then open the Garmin connect app and select add device from the side menu. everything should flow like when you paired them for the first time. you'll have to re-confirm the basic settings and re-allow the watch to access all your information.
If you try to pair the watch first in your phone's blue tooth settings, you'll get a connection error when you try to pair them in the connect app and the app won't find the watch. I'm not sure why, but restarting both the phone and watch are the key to a successful re-connect.
There seem to be a LOT of search results for the 645 loosing Bluetooth connectivity... it's still happening for me on my new Forerunner in Oct 2020 - and this is the first google result. The FAQ link above seems to be broken to me, perhaps correcting that would help folks? Any other updates on this specific model and bluetooth would be appreciated, since this thread indicates its 3 years old.
