I cannot get it to connect by Bluetooth, Wifi or Ant stick, I am sure it is either user error or that the poor thing has lost the will to live after such a long 'rest' period but is driving me nuts I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app from my phone and turned the watch off and on again and followed all the online instructions for Bluetooth pairing, thought I'd try wifi but the watch didn't find any wifi. And all this before I even attempt to get it to sync with Fetch All suggestions gratefully received.
