Garmin Venu needing pass code when coming back in range.

[wooda2]

Hi all I have a Garmin Venu and have recently got a new phone, Samsung galaxy M32.
My problem is when I get out of Bluetooth range and then go back to the phone I have to enter a 6 digit code to reconnect watch to phone. This doesn't happen with my tablet or my other phone. Both of these are android 6 or 7. New phone is android 11.
Would love to hear any ideas. I have spent a lot of time but can't nut this out

Did you use the Garmin Connect app to connect to the phone?? Not connect it from the phone's bluetooth?

Yes. I've had no improvement. After looking on the web it seems a reasonably common Samsung thing with Venu. I think I'm stuck with it though Samsung seem aware of it. Retailer isn't interested

A bit more...
My old vivoactive 3 works for. It's only the Venu on this device only

No through Garmin connect then disconnect when going out of range and won't reconnect without passcode
