Watch Series 6 disconnecting from fitness equipment.

I’m using Life Fitness treadmills at the gym and it has Apple Watch connect capabilities. It initially connects to the treadmill, but after about 20 seconds I disconnects. What can be causing this?

Hi Robbie_Dukes,


We understand your Apple Watch won't stay connected with your treadmill. we're happy to help.


To begin we'd recommend restarting your Apple Watch and making sure the software is up to date.

You'll also want to make sure in Settings > Workout the "Detect Gym Equipment" option is enabled to maintain a connection with your treadmill.
