This may not be surprising for you if you been using their device. The official Garmin app for Windows 10 Mobile has been suffering from connection breaks and very bad reviews in the Microsoft Store for months. Many users complain about missing notifications on their smartwatches.
That said, you really don’t need to change your fitness tracker unless that’s broke as well. There are tons of Smartwatches around, and Fitbit Ionic is one of the latest ones you might want to take a look at.
