I got my pebble steel on Saturday. Love it so far. Only issue is with it disconnecting from Bluetooth. Happens multiple times a day, usually just resetting the phones Bluetooth will work but a few times I had to reset the phone and even once had to factory reset watch and uninstall app from phone. Is this happening to anyone else?
 
Happens to me ALL the time. Have had numerous issues where I needed to factory reset the watch and then connect it again, only for the thing to disconnect an hour later :(
 
If it makes you feel any better I have a Moto 360 smart watch (I also have a Pebble on the shelf which is now retired), and it also loses connection to the phone sometimes, and the solution is the same as you've described -- recycle the bluetooth on the phone. It only seems to happen in instances where the watch gets out of range of the phone, and not reconnecting like it's supposed to when they are back in range of each other. It isn't consistent though.

I used to charge my watch on my nightstand, and my phone on my desk, which are not within connection range. I moved the watch charging station to my desk, and this has reduced the number of disconnects substantially for me.
