AirPods don’t work with Apple Watch

We apologize for the inconvenience, we are updating the Apple-Watch software and will contact all customers when update is available. Thank you for your patience.

This is a new issue for me. I’ve been using Music on my watch for months, but in the last couple of weeks it starts out fine, then the sound starts to break up. Other things don’t appear to be affected.

Does this happen everywhere you go every single time? Have you tried streaming from your phone in these same locations (ever I mean…I know you’re saying this is occurring when you don’t have your phone but if the issue occurs in those same locations with your phone it’s possible the problem is related to your carrier service and its signal in certain locations). Verify you do have downloaded to the watch songs that still do this. Try unpairing your AirPods and then pairing them again. It seems less likely an issue with your AirPods since the issue doesn’t occur with phone and maybe something with your watch (carrier signal or something else). If it’s not your carrier and if unpairing your AirPods or hard resetting your Apple Watch don’t seem to help then you may need to contact Apple support directly for further assistance
