It also still drops out occasionally, even wearing it in a front pocket or during my bicycle commute in a phone mount on my handlebars.
Did you try the bluetooh fix posted in this thread?

I'll sum it up again:
0) Consider updating your device to the latest firmware and performing a factory reset after that1) Go to "Settings" -> "Background task clear" and
whitelist all your 3rd party apps wich need bluetooth to transfer data (i.e. samsung gear app, veryfit app and so on..). By doing that, they will be allowed to run in background even if the smartphone is in deep sleep state.
2) Go to "Settings" -> "Battery" -> "3 dots" in the upper right corner -> "Battery optimization" -> select "All apps" from the dropdown menu and
disable battery optimization for every bluetooth service app, as
-
Bluetooth MIDI service-
BT Tool-
Bluetooth sharingand for
every app needing to use bluetooth to transmit data, as
-
Phone-
Phone services-
Call management-
Phone/Messaging storage- your 3rd party music player
- other telephone dialer apps
- fitness band apps and so on
3) Only if the previous steps doesn't solve your issue,
ALSO:-
Go to "Settings" -> "Battery" and disable "Standby intelligent power saving" - Go to "Settings" -> "Duraspeed" and and
disable it. 4) Only if, again, the previous steps still don't solve your issue,
ALSO go to "Settings" -> "Battery" and
set your device into "High performance mode"Please follow these steps carefully and report back if your bluetooth issue gets solved
