Q: How many Bluetooth devices can I pair with an Apple Watch while running?

HI!

i just wanted to know if it is possible to pair 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time with an Apple Watch?

while running I'd like to connect my BT headphones and BT heart rate belt with the Apple Watch. Does that work or is it limited to just one device?

or can I pair the headphones with my iphone 6s and the belt with the Apple Watch?

Either way would work for me as long as I can use them together.

Thank you!

Hi,

1. Yes but you can only use one device at a time.

2. It won't hurt to try.

Hi Carolyn,

thank you for your answer. Well I didn't buy it yet. It was one of my deciding factors to be able to listen to music through my BT headphones while having the BT chest strap being paired to it. Considering that I do not have the watch at yet..., there is no way to use both at the same time?!
Not even if I connect the chest strap to the Apple Watch and the BT headphones to my iPhone? if that works will I be able to control the music on the Apple Watch?
thanks again!

Ok ...

You can get a definitive answer directly from Apple on Twitter: @AppleSupport

I don't want to advise you to do something prior to a purchase that might not work later.

And you can also get help directly from Apple by using their online chat service.

I picked a random Apple Watch for you here > http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch/42mm-stainless-steel-case-with-w hite-leather-loop?product=MMFV2LL/A&step=detail#

Click that link then click Chat Online on the right.

You're not purchasing the watch, you'r'e just asking for assistance.

Might want to take a moment to read this user tip prior to purchasing an Apple Watch > DO NOT USE YOUR PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY.

Yes, you can use a heart rate belt (which uses the BT Low Energy profile) and headphones (which use the A2DP profile) at the same time.
