Remote connection stopped working July 6th

[LAB68]

Saturday morning my Galaxy watch LTE stopped connecting remotely with my Galaxy S9 plus phone. I have tried all the suggestions in the other posts and nothing works. This seems to be a problem that keeps happening. I depend on my watch to work correctly when my phone is not with me. This is the reason I bought the watch. Samsung can you please fix the issue. It's not our watchs  or phones.

Same here. Received Verizon software update on S10 plus on July 6 and after the phone updated I can no longer connect remotely. This was an issue when I first bought the watch and was resolved through an update pretty quickly.

I didn't get any updates from Verizon on my phone July 6th. The last update was on June 16th.

I just connected the watch and phone by Bluetooth, then disconnected the Bluetooth and it finally connected remotely

Tried that

And after 30 mins it's connecting now

Hopefully it lasts

I'm having the same issue.  My Gear S3 won't send or receive text messages using my phones number when not connected on Bluetooth.  It keeps wanting to use the watch's number if I try to send a text.  Text sent to me do not show up on the watch.   This just started happening this past weekend.  It will make & receive calls using the phone's number, but it won't send or receive text messages using the phone's number. 

Watch Model SM-R765V,  One UI Version 1.0, LTE, Tizen 4.0.0.4
