Constantly disconnecting from phone. Over the last couple of week, it's been constantly draining battery like crazy because it's saying it is no longer connected. I'll have periods of the day where it will disconnect and reconnect just to disconnect again, over and over, 5, 6, 7 times in 10 minutes. It's been buggy the whole three years I've had it, but it's getting to the point where I'm about to leave the Galaxy watch world.

8/29/22 Twice in the last 3 days the app has failed to open saying I have to update, but selecting the update button only gives an option to uninstall. I did that the first time and reinstalled which then forced me to have to reset my watch and reinstall everything from backup. I'm waiting to hear from customer support before I try fixing this again. 8/31/22 Added additional star to my review because they seem to have fixed the bug. No notification given of the fix or I would've rated higher.

I absolutely do not understand what is going on with this app. Nevertheless I am updating an app regularly, the second time in a row the app just shuts down and tells me to update. When selecting an uptade in the store, there is no update, just a button to uninstall an app. A few days ago I just uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it, done all the watch pairing and so on. And now again the story repeats, the same crazy message for an update and completely incomprehensible stuf.
