Bluetooth on AWS6 constantly searching for device

[dj322]

Hi all,

I have my Bluetooth and WIFI turned on both my AWS6 and iPhone XS. My phone is connected to the watch as indicated in the phone's Bluetooth setting but when I go to the watch > settings > Bluetooth, under devices it constantly says Searching. However, if I go to the control centre, I see a green iPhone icon. This indicates the watch is connected.

I did a watch reset (erase all content and settings), then set it up again and the watch was displaying my phone under devices but now it is gone again, although I turn off Bluetooth on both devices and turned it back on to test. Any ideas?

When you go to Settings->Bluetooth the watch begins searching for any new devices nearby in pairing mode such as running headphones.

This is completely normal behavior.

You won't ever see the phone listed. It doesn't need to be, it was paired during the watch pairing process.
