It seems like the connection would be lost every few minutes or so. Today, I've been doing other tests (switching ears, so control is closer to watch), walking away from the watch, etc...and it has worked better, but still losing connection one or two times....the music just stops, I check my watch and see the headphone symbol is gone. If I hit the play button, the headphones will reconnect and music will continue....but what a pain to have to keep hitting play on my watch throughout my workout....suggestions?
I'm not sure if the Bluebuds are the same as the other Jaybird products. But, I have the Freedom's, and they specifically recommend keeping the bluetooth device on the right side of the body, as it's the right earpiece that has the antenna in it. They state you may have a decrease in signal and may experience dropouts if you put the device on the left side of the body.
I generally do ok wherever it is at, but I do get the occasional sputter when I put my phone on a beltclip on my left side.
