AirPods not working with watch only phone calls

[trumpetplayer]

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems with their AirPods not working when using the watch for a phone call? The AirPods function properly when used for music, Siri, and workout apps, but phone calls use only the watch’s mic and speaker. AirPods also function correctly when used for phone calls from the phone. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Thanks for any help.

Are you answering the call on your airpods or on the watch itself. I believe you need to double tap on the AirPod to answer to have sound come through there. I noticed when I answer by pressing on the watch itself the sounds comes from the watch.
[doublepost=1507404121][/doublepost]I just tried and worked fine for me. On the watch itself I see an airpods button to answer when I get a call. Outgoing calls from the watch (phone off) also worked through air pods.

Try pairing the AirPods to the watch by placing the pods in their case. Leaving the lid on the case open, press and hold the pairing button on the case until the light on the case constantly blinks. Then tap settings on the watch and then tap Bluetooth. Select your pods. This solved the problem for me.
