Apple Watch disconnecting from Apple fitness app on Apple TV during workout

I have an Apple Watch 4 and I'm using the Apple fitness app on Apple TV. All hardware has been upgraded to latest software. Multiple times now during workouts, my watch disconnects from the Apple fitness app. It absolutely wrecks a workout as there is no way to reconnect and start from where you disconnected. The app requires that you go all the way back to the beginning of the work out. A total hassle. Apple fitness is super cool and super buggy it seems.

I know this is an older post. Were you also using your air pods during the workout?


It seems there is a Bluetooth issue when using both the Apple Watch & Air Pods with the Apple TV during the workouts.

I had this problem and contacted Apple support, they were unable to resolve the issue. We tried every workaround in the tech’s arsenal, and arrived at “just use the watch with the iPad instead of Apple TV for now”.


I think it’s a bug with the Apple TV and watch telemetry communicating properly. The health data doesn’t quite update in real time.....
