My experience with Garmin and BT is mostly on the watch side, a little bit with an Edge too. In both cases, the quality of the connection depends a lot on the phone. I've used both devices with cheap Android phones and have had disappointing results. If the connection breaks a few times with a cheap phone (like if you go out of range, maybe at a bathroom stop) it would never resume until I'd reboot the phone, or turn BT off on the phone and then back on. With higher quality Android phones, it's been flawless.

The S6 is the one I've had flawless results with.
