Hi Donna, Yeah it’s weird but yes I can pair my Plantronics 5200 to my watch and phone at the same time without issue but yeah the pods don’t so we all wait to hear about this update.

What I read says the AirPods pair with the watch and phone simultaneously. That makes sense if you think about the fact that the watch and the phone are already paired. But I will send an update.

I mostly want to know what will happen if, say, you're listening to audio on iOS and check the time or a notification on your Watch. Will the Watch speech steal the Pods from your phone? Is there a certain amount of time for which you have to use a device before it switches? I'd love to hear how this all works. No pun intended.

I think it's because the watch and the phone are already paired. The tech told me that VO should not interfere, that is, just as when i use VO on my phone and it comes over my AirPods, the same should happen with the watch once this bug is addressed.

For sighted users, I have to wonder if media playback is the key? That is, notification sounds on one device won't cause the Pods to take over, but music or podcasts will. If that's the case, and I don't know that it is, then how will VO speech interfere? -- Alex Hall On Jun 12, 2017, at 16:18, Donna Goodin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, Just got off the phone with Apple tech support, and have an update that those of you with AirPods will want to know. Apparently, the issue with the AirPods not picking up audio from the apple watch is a known issue that is being worked on. I was told to expect a fix in a future update. And I was correct, when working properly, the AirPods should automatically detect whether you are using the phone or the Watch, and automatically switch to the correct device. The need for manually switching between phone and Mac is the proper behavior. Hope this is helpful.
