When trying to begin an exercise my versa will say connecting without ever being connected. This has caused no GPS during my runs and deceased accuracy of stats. I've updated everything and restarted everything. Unpaired and paired Bluetooth and still won't ever be connected during exercise. Please help.

I never was able to get the issue resolved and finally did just but the
Apple Watch. I had uninstalled/reinstalled, verified it was
paired/connect/location enabled, repaired, reset, and started through the
app over and over. At best I’d have one successful and then it would
revert.

Me too.  Used to work just fine, then nothing.  Guess I'll junk this watch and go with Apple like I should have at the beginning.  Nice Work FitBit, piece of junk!!!

I am having the same issue, 3 of the past 8 days this occurred, just says “connecting”. Super annoying when you are trying to track for accuracy. Have you had any issues with your Apple Watch?
