What can be done if Apple Watch fails to connect to Matrix Treadmill at the gym?

We are all users here, and don't know if and when Apple releases an update for the Apple Watch, to correct this issue. Or if the manufactures of the gym equipment have to do that from their side.

There have been several users reporting this issue in this community, and this looks like a watchOS 10.5 issue.

You should also tell Apple directly about it by using the Feedback link, which is the only way to reach them.

Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple

A lot of people have done this repeatedly, Apple isn’t responding to the issue

It is an Apple issue. Dont blame the treadmill manufacturer

Matrix has advised that a software update is forthcoming: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlanetFitnessMembers/comments/1dobf7u/matrix_fitness_will_be_addressing_the_issue_with/

I find this hard to believe. I have a ticket open with Apple. I would like to think the tier 2 support person would know this.

Just an FYI. After updating to Watch OS 10.6, both my wife and I can connect to the treadmills at Planet Fitness again.
