Apple Watch pairing Issue

I have an apple watch, with the latest software. I have a pair of Airpods Pro (AP) headphones another off brand headphones (OBH). When I use my watch connected the the OBHs, everything works great. Later during the day, I use my watch connected to the APs and I am having connection issues. The watch is able to initially connect but once I start listening to music, using the Spotify watch app, the watch is unable to keep the Bluetooth connection to the APs. I have attempted to forget the AP device and reconnect multiple times and it keeps dropping the connection/unable to pay music. I have noticed this bad connection to the APs on multiple watches as well. The connection dropping is especially bad when attempting to only use one AP earbud.
