G-shock watch buggy--- bluetooth loses connection--- POSSIBLY RESOLVED

Anyone else have random unwarranted disconnects from phone, or it suddenly won't get call/text alerts? Really frustrating lol.


EDIT: See below for more information but this seems to be the solution. On my phone, this didn't happen automatically. I found it just fiddling around. I'll let someone more knowledgeable than I explain what "Bluetooth Smart" is, but it seems to have fixed the issue on my phone/watch.

I have a gbx 6900. The app version is 1.1.4(0127a) I cannot find under settings the smart bluetooth setting. Any help please.

I wear my watch every day at work where it gets coated with paint, and scrubbed with a fairly harsh paint remover.... takes a beating quite well actually.

I don't bother syncing it. It only stays synced for the whole day (10 hours) once a week, or less. Some days it loses sync after a couple hours, and continues to lose it repeatedly. Way too much hassle to even bother with it.

The software update from a while back on the phone seemed to help a touch, but that was only a temporary phenomenon.
