AirPods 2 with Apple Watch cellular

[TorontoSS]

Hello,

I got AirPods for the first time yesterday. I’ve never had them before, so my first time with AirPods. I have a cellular Apple Watch. I took the airpods for a spin today with the watch, and this happened:

- song with start fine. After about 2 seconds it would cut out. I would stop the song and then a few min try again. I’d get happy when it would start but only to cut out later.
- i thought maybe it’s the cellular data but i tried with an audio book which was already synced to the watch and same thing.

Then I got a FaceTime audio call whilst doing this, and had a pretty clear happy 30 min conversation. So it wasn’t the cellular data.

During this time, my battery drained signifcantly on the watch.

Is something up? How do i fix this, has anyone else noticed this issue before?

Reboot the watch if you haven’t done that already.

Reboot the watch if you haven’t done that already.

Thanks - I don’t know why I didn’t try that. I did and later went for a walk and turned my phone on airplay mode to test the cellular part of the watch with the AirPods. Seemed to work fine. Battery drain has been fine too.

Apple dropped updated firmware for the watch late last week to have better AirPods 2 support
