Hey everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’m having some serious Bluetooth connectivity issues between my Garmin Forerunner 55 watch and my Nothing Phone (2a). I’ve tried all the basic troubleshooting steps like restarting both devices, forgetting the connection, and reinstalling the Garmin Connect app, but nothing seems to work.

Frustratingly, the watch connects perfectly fine with my old Samsung M31 phone. So, it seems like the issue might be specific to the Nothing Phone (2a).

Has anyone else in the community experienced similar problems with the Forerunner 55 and the Nothing Phone (2a)? I’m hoping someone might have some additional solutions or tips that I haven’t tried yet.

Thanks in advance!

    HitendraValluri I have the Garmin Forerunner 255 Music and Phone (2a), so slightly similar but also not. However, my experience was different to yours in the respect that it synchronised seamlessly. What I might suggest is trying again, but making sure it isn’t paired to your other device at the time of trying to connect it to Phone (2a). Do it from scratch again, ensuring that you have the Garmin Connect app on your Phone (2a) and that your watch is updated to the latest firmware also.

    When you say it doesn’t connect to your phone, is it connecting via Bluetooth at all and the functions aren’t working, or that it doesn’t stay connected when you do pair it?
