Help Gear 2 Neo connection issues

I've been having serious connection issues with my gear 2 neo. It will randomly not connect and usually I can get it to reconnect manually through the app. But now, it just times out. Yesterday, I went nuclear and did a factory reset on the watch, removed it from BT devices and uninstalled the Gear app, reinstalled, and set up from scratch. Today, it is doing it again. Bluetooth connection times out after 2 or so minutes of spinning.

What the hell is going on with this thing? Is it going out on me or is this due to the software update I got for my phone yesterday? I started having issues before I ran the update, so that doesn't seem related.
