Hello, Galaxy S23 I have to re-pair my Garmin device every morning since Android 15.
I set my phone to airplane mode at night (or when I am in an airplane/theatre/movies/etc) but since the android 15 update whenever I have done that I have to re-pair my bluetooth devices (Fenix watch and Edge 830) via GarminConnect. Anyone else have this problem?
When you turn on airplane mode on the watch all your connection settings go off. You then have to turn on BT and/or WI-FI. This will keep mobile calls and data off, but your watch should remain connected. There is no reason you would have to go through the re-pairing process. If you turn on a mode, such as theater mode, it does not automatically turn off BT or WI-Fi (only airplane mode does that). You actually do not need to turn on airplane mode for sleep or theater. There are already pre-configured modes for that. Or you can just turn on do not disturb. In the Wear app, turn on sync modes with phone and when you turn on sleep mode or theater mode or any other mode you set up, the BT connection is not severed, but sounds are muted and do not disturb is turned on. You only need to use airplane mode when you want to make sure your cellular connection is not active.

I just noticed you said you were not using Samsung accessories. The above instructions may not apply. You still should not have to re-pair your devices each time you go into airplane mode. Actually, the first time you put your phone in airplane mode and then turn on the wi-fi and Bluetooth, it remembers those settings the next time you enter airplane mode, unless you change it. It remembers your last connection configuration. The BT & WI-Fi settings on the watch have to be manually turned on each time. This should highlight to you the practicality of having you accessory devices being the same brand as your phone.

Maybe I did not explain my problem very clear. What I do is put S23 in airplane mode when I go to bed. In the morning I turn airplane mode off. Then everything should be working just like the night before. But it is not. All bluetooth connected devices disappeared overnight. S23 does not know my watch anymore. And does not know my bikecomputer anymore. I have to pair them every time like it is a new device.
I'm having the very same issue, which started right after the latest upgrade. Very annoying, all BT devices must be paired again every time my phone was set to airplane mode.
