I use a Polar H7 Bluetooth monitor during my workouts. I have a problem where the watch always finds the H7 but sometimes won't connect-especially in the gym. It connects fine at home or out of the gym. Can anyone help it is very frustrating.
iPhone 5, iOS 9.0.2
Something at the gym is interfering with the connection you will have to find out what it is. It the meantime reset your Watch by holding down the Digital Crown and side button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. After doing this you may want to forget your previous pairing with the H7 and pair it again.
Apple advises that you should only force restart your watch (by holding both buttons down) as a last resort, if it is unresponsive - which does not apply in your case.
Although it may not help, you may wish to instead try restarting both your iPhone and your watch, turning both off together and then restarting your iPhone first.

I have the same problem. My iPhone detects the H7, but the apple watch can't.
He's not talking about iPhone, so ... why restart it?
Temporarily turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone, put the H7 in pairing mode and pair them. Then turn BT back on.
He said it was a long shot in that case in his post but it does sometimes make a difference.
I've got my H7 paired in both devices (but only use it in one each time). I've unpaired from my iPhone, and I'm going to test it, to see if it's still failing.
I'll keep you informed.
