Q: Apple Watch dropping connection with Plantronics BackBeat FIT
Hi. I recently bought a pair of Plantronics BackBeat FIT earphones to pair with my Apple Watch wirelessly via bluetooth. Although I was easily able to pair up the earphones with my watch, as soon as I started exercising in the gym, the earphones would disconnect after only a few seconds. Extremely frustrating! Even after re-connecting/re-pairing etc several times, I still experience the same issue. Will there be a fix any time soon to correct the bug?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2
