I’ve had 2 fail to connect since using G7. I got a brilliant idea with this last sensor. I shutdown the watch waited a count of 10, restarted and voila connect and pair.

Maybe this will work every time.🤩

I only tried one G7 sensor so far and now am back to using up all my G6 sensors for a few more months. With that one sensor I enjoyed the Direct to Watch, seemed flawless for all 10 days. Do you have good line of sight from G7 to watch?

Yes, when it failed to get a pairing code I had the watch 2" from the sensor, no good. When I shutdown and restarted the watch it paired very quick.

It’s impacted by timing and and other bluetoothe devics around it…computer, phone, devices.Bluetooth refresh seems to be ther best way to connect again.
