Hi all I picked up a Zenwatch yesterday during all the sales and have been having nothing but issues... :(

A little background. I have owned every android wear watch besides the urbane (That is readily available) and have been using the Gear S exclusively for the last month but I like Android wear notifications better so I decided to come back to AW.

With all of these devices I have never had bluetooth disconnects or any of these issues, which is the reason for the background.

My Zenwatch will constantly disconnect from my S6e, I even factory reset the phone thinking it was gear manager causing it to no avail. I have reset the watch 3 times, twice because it has forced me to. It comes up with an error after it disconnects/reconnects like 4 or 5 times in a row saying "Network unavailable, a factory reset is required" I have never seen this before I got the Zenwatch on any of my other AW watches.

So on the 2nd forced factory reset(was at 70% or so when I did it) it starts up and lets me choose language then goes to a screen telling me to "connect to a power source" I have and when I do it immediately factory resets again and goes right back to the same screen even when plugged in. I then unplug and re-plug it back in to continue the cycle...

Has anyone else had these issues?

I am definitely returning the watch but just debating ordering an SW3 again and not having a "pretty watch", or giving the Zenwatch another try...

Suggestions?
 
Well finally got it to stop boot looping and show in android wear manager(No clue what I did different) and after letting it sit for the last 20 minutes on a screen saying updating with fancy animations it seems to be working again. Will see how well and for how long but I assume I will still swap it out at the least if I decide to keep the Zenwatch..
 
Do not install the zenwatch app. That caused mine to continually disconnect and to not be discoverable. I hope this helps
