Hello Chase3454,


Thanks for the post. I understand you're able to pair Bluetooth headphones with your Apple Watch, but you're not able to play audio. I'd be checking into this myself.


It sounds like you may want to start by trying to change your audio output. Check out the steps below: Connect Apple Watch to Bluetooth headphones or speakers


"Choose an audio output

  1. Touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up to open Control Center.
  2. Tap , then choose the device you want to use.

For important information about avoiding hearing loss, see Important safety information for Apple Watch."


Take care.
