Man, I hear you on the persistent background operation. I can't get my third party watch to stay connected to its home app for a day at a time and at this point I've given it all the permissions I'm allowed to give. If it asked for nudes I'd have sent them a portfolio. Doesn't matter, you need to manually reopen it and resync it multiple times a day.
