    The update did not fix the issue for me. Using a Pixel 6a with Graphene OS and a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The watch had been working just fine with Graphene OS until the recent OS changes.

    Since the most recent update, nothing really improved. The watch had to be factory reset in order to get it to connect the the phone via Bluetooth. That worked for less than 5 hours and it lost connection to the phone and would not reconnect.

    Still the only way to get it to reconnect it to factory reset the watch and re-pair it to the phone. Since that connection still only lasts less than 5 hours (sometimes on an hour or so), I'm tired of doing that and have quit wearing the watch.

      Sorry to see that are experiencing this. Sounds like a problem with the watch itself, since you have to reset the watch to fix the problem. Hopefully the manufacture of the watch fixes this issue soon.

    Has it fixed it? I shut off my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro since I had to reset and re-pair it multiple times a day. Now I'm on vacation and didn't even bring it with me.

      The app sandboxing in Graphene is the perfect place to use them. All you need is the Galaxy Wear app. Maybe Samsung Health, but I think that is optional.

      Along with the protections built into Graphene, I use an always on VPN; and 99% of my accounts use unique email addresses, usernames, and passwords for each account.
