Will AW 3.1 OS work with air pods?

Well, according to Apples website watchOS 3 or higher is required. So you should be good.

Works perfectly. You can route calls through the AirPods and the battery indicator on the Watch shows the pods' status too.
They're great BTW.
They're great BTW.
I Also learned that you can have AirPods announce who's calling. Go to settings – phone – announce calls.
Wow.
Really?
Have to try this.
This will replace many assistants. Remember movies that had a secretary announcing who was calling?
Now I will have an Australian accented assistant to do that.
Could I answer back?

That's an iOS 10 feature the iPhone itself will announce as well no Bluetooth headset required.
My point was it's not an AirPods feature it works with any headset, headphones, car or the iPhone itself.
I understand your point, hence the suggestion, many others are likely are unaware. It's a work around suggested by the OP without having to look at your iPhone or Watch. Very convenient with driving or what have you.
I used mine the other day at the gym and left phone behind. Put a playlist of songs on the watch and paired the AirPods. All was good until about 20 minutes in, then they disconnected. I tired several things to get them to reconnect and no dice! Finally I rebooted the watch and they connected again. After that one issue they were fine for the rest of my run which lasted another 50 minutes or so..
