Garmin Fenix 6 bluetooth connection problems with app - work around

Little trick, if your Garmin watch does not connect to the Garmin Connect App on your Android phone

[Ole]

Your flight mode trick was Indeed the trick to solve my Bluetooth connection issue. I set the cell phone on flight mode and shut it down. The watch was also shut down.
Waited a couple of minutes. Then I turned both devices on again. Turned off flught mode and conneted them with sccess.
Thank you for the tip.

Worked right away. Can't believe Garmin support doesn't advise this solution. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you very much, I couldn't use my watch for a month because of this issue. Garmin's suggestions didn't work. Your fix seemed so random, but it really worked!

Had a ton of connection issues. This worked on my iPhone and was way quicker than rebooting everything. Thanks so much!

I just spend 2 hours trying this and trying that and your advice saved the day. Thank you

Worked perfectly, thanks Mossite! - Had tried turning both devices on and off, resetting via the Connect app on PC too, nothing worked and ended up not detecting the watch at all from my Samsung. Hope this saves others a lot of pain too!

Thanks, this works great with my Fenix6 and Samsung Note10 combo!
I just wish that Garmin would fix the root cause of this problem.

Thanks dear, this advice worked like a charm.

I had removed my fenix 6s pro completely from both garmin connect and oneplus 6t according to garmin advice and after that my phone didn't find the watch at all for pairing, no matter what I did. With this trick my phone found the fenix watch almost instantly and I was able to finish the repairing process.

Thank you once again!

Thanks! I just got this problem today for the first time with my Fenix 6X pro solar/Samsung S21 Ultra and it seems to have helped.

Thank you, it worked for me.. How just weired... I was almost ready to boot my new Garmin and phone them and just voice my unhappiness.. I have hardly used my watch cause one day it connects and the next day it does not.. I have sat here for 3 hours trying to see what's wrong.. I come across your video and its not working.. Thank you so much...

[kennethriess]

Thank you. I am going to try this the next time my watch disconnects from my phone. Which should be in about 20 minutes...
