Music from Apple Watch distorts then stops

Used my new Apple Watch with Bluetooth headphones for the first time when out for a run. I had downloaded music onto the watch from Spotify but the music just stopped after 30 seconds and wouldn’t start again. Could this be a Bluetooth issue with non apple headphones?

Bluetooth interrupted Apple watch Ultra Greetings hi in many types of headphones (not Apple's) when I connect the headphones the music is interrupted. I tried resetting the watch to factory settings and then restored from the account and the phenomenon still occurs. When I connect the headphones to the iPhone I hear fine, do you know this phenomenon? How can this be treated? Is it possible that there is a problem with the Bluetooth component of the watch? I have Shokz and Platronics headphones and both have the problem, with Apple or JBL headphones there is no problem. Have you ever encountered such a case?

Apple watch downloaded music from spotify wont play without wifi connection Hey, I downloaded music in the App and that works perfectly fine without being connected to my phone but still being connected to wifi. Without a connection to wifi the app „glitches“ and no music is played. The watch is connected to a bluetooth device and I‘ve updated my watch the app and my headphones but it simply doesn’t work without a wifi connection. Shouldnt the whole being able to download music onto the watch thing work without a wifi connection? i have an apple watch series 3 and the newest software update. I‘ve tried different bluetooth headphones (none from apple) and not one worked is this an apple watch problem, a not having the newest watch problem, a not having apple headphones problem or a spotify problem? please just HELP! I wanna be able to use the watch for running and listen to music during it WITHOUT a phone and no wifi connection

I suggest you test this with another pair of Bluetooth headphones to ensure it is not an error. Let me know if this turns out okay, otherwise, I can look further into it.

Best of luck
