Don't worry, you haven't lost your bluetooth-icon Grinning_Face
Android Pie doesn't show the bluetooth-icon permanently anymore. Google wants to avoid cluttering the status bar with an icon noone really needs, especially in a time when many users have a smartwatch and the bluetooth-icon would be shown on the screen 24/7 for no reason.

You can see if bluetooth is on by pulling down the notification center, the bluetooth-icon should be highlighted.

Regarding the problems with your Moto 360 I'd try opening the bluetooth-seetings (long-press on the bluetooth icon in the notification center), deleting the watch, restarting the phone and pairing the watch again.

Hi @Madmax2005!

As @skycamefalling wrote, sometimes, a Bluetooth icon will be shown in the status bar if you connect a Bluetooth accessory to your device. Other times, the icon will not appear. It depends on the accessory and supporting app.

Regarding the Moto 360, let us know how it goes! Slightly_smiling_Face
