Hello Nlllun,


From what you've shared, your AirPods may be connected to your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch as expected. To isolate this behavior we recommend unpairing and re-pairing your AirPods as outlined in the Relevant Article you've viewed above: Use AirPods and other Bluetooth accessories with Apple Watch


"If you can’t connect your Bluetooth accessory or it won’t reconnect:


  1. If you see Airplane on your watch face, Airplane Mode is on. On your Apple Watch, tap Settings > Airplane Mode, then turn it off. 
  2. Make sure your accessory is fully charged and powered on.
  3. If you see the accessory in Settings > Bluetooth on Apple Watch, but you can’t connect, use the steps above to unpair the accessory.
  4. Try to pair the accessory again."


Best regards.
