Posted this on another forum but received no replies, will try my luck here.
Anyone having an issue with Workout Buddy? I jog daily with my AWU3, iPhone 17 Pro Max and AirPods Pro 3. I start the workout from my watch and play the music from my watch. My AirPods however preferentially connect to my iPhone and because of this Workout Buddy does not work. This started since I updated my devices last week. I ran iOS/watchOS 26 on my older devices previously and this same configuration worked! I also tried running with AWU3 and AirPods Pro 3 without an iPhone but got a message that you need to have the phone on you to get the workout buddy.
