Watch is good. Connectivity unstable – Samsung Galaxy Watch (Gear S) Review

I like the watch and all it can do. I also like the 3 day battery life. I feel it does ok at Heath tracking as well. However, I am disappointed by the Bluetooth connection stability. I can get it to connect to my iPhone initially but if you walk away from the phone far enough that Bluetooth is lost the watch will not reconnect with a stable connection. It will reconnect, then drop a few seconds later, then reconnect and repeat continually. There are many others with this issue or similar and there are many options to try to resolve this. I have tried them all such as reset, reboot, reinstall app, and so forth and I have tried all of them on both the watch and the phone. Connection will restore but it’s temporary and you will encounter the same issue after a day or two or maybe the next time you leave your phone and get too far from it again. In my opinion this is related to the iPhone app because if the app is closed the reconnecting loop will stop but it will remain in a standalone state. Based on all the reviews here and on the internet, this is an issue that Samsung should be aware of and have fixed by now. This is why I give it 3 stars. Mostly because I like the watch itself. But app is not so stable.
