My phone doesn’t ping when I press the phone icon on my watch. Even when my phone is right next to it and it is connected by Bluetooth

This is new since I updated it a month ago

Unfortunately, that is only a temporary fix.


Any time I take my watch off my arm it disconnects from my phone. Have to power my watch off and on before it will connect to my phone.


If I don’t do this, my watch and phone will both say they’re connected to each other, but my phone will not record any of my fitness activities, my phone will not ping and they just don’t talk to each other.


I can Bluetooth on and off on both devices, I can disconnect and then connect to the Internet on both devices, but they still won’t talk to each other.


It’s only when I power my watch off and on that they recognize each other and talk.


It’s getting very old.


please help.
