Was able to pick up the Pebble 2 SE at Target for $65 but I'm having issues with the watch disconnecting from my Pixel periodically. Whether it's over time after being idle or I walk too far, it takes forever for it to reconnect and it seems to require me to bring up the Pebble app on my Pixel to get it working. It then prompts me with a "allow this app to turn on bluetooth?" message despite the fact that I leave Bluetooth on indefinitely.

Anyone have any similar issues?

I occasionally have disconnects for similar reasons but the watch will reconnect as soon as I unlock my phone (though occasionally it does take opening the app if the watch and phone have been separated for hours).

Is the pebble app whitelisted for Doze?

That's what I had read elsewhere, disabled it for now and we'll see how that works.

Didn't have an effect, I left my phone plugged in over night just a few feet away from my watch and it still disconnected and failed to reconnect. I've had to re-pair them every morning and anytime I bring my watch outside my Pixels range. Such a bummer.

Switched over to an iPhone 6S and now all of my connection problems went away, imagine that.
