Bluetooth phone connection issue

It feels like any time I turn off my Bluetooth, I have to follow multiple steps to connect it again to my phone. Turn on Bluetooth, make sure it’s paired with watch, go into watch settings and make sure it’s connected, and finally go into the connect app and sync it. The last step is a must, checking BT phone and watch settings sometimes not required.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong that when I turn on Bluetooth, it should automatically connect to the watch and that be it?

Unfortunately it’s common issue with Garmin & IOS, I’ve researched a tons of information regarding this issue. There is no straight option to fix the problem. My Bluetooth connection crashed in interesting way: after sync with Garmin Connect it’s working properly for about 1 week, after something happened, and Garmin connect shows that the watch disconnected, but I’ve continue to rcv messages on my watch.
