Yes. Redownloading 50-100 apps and watchfaces (more as they keep making new ones I like), putting them back in the order I want them in and going through every setting on every menu to restore it to the way I want it should not be necessary every 6 weeks. Especially to get one of the most basic things the watch should do to work. If I wanted to be bluetooth connected to the phone all the time I would have spent less money on the non-LTE variant of the watch.
If you use your computer every day and had everything set up just right, would 6 weeks in between "you have to hard reset the pc then reinstall and configure every piece of software" be ok?
I can't tell if it's something to do with T-Mo, the Digits beta, Samsung (expectedly, to be honest) not being fully cooperative with other manufacturers or a little of everything. Nonetheless, the basics shouldn't be problematic on a completely new thing in the marketplace. There's no need to reinvent the wheel every time a new company makes something that others have already made before.
