AirPods won’t properly connect

Hi ! I bought AirPods but they won’t properly connect unless my Apple Watch is turned off. If I try to connect the AirPods when my watch is on it makes my phone freeze and crash. very annoyed. Does anyone have any insight on how this can be fixed ???

AirPods Pro poor connection to Apple Watch My AirPods Pro seem to connect to Apple Watch and sound comes through for a few seconds then stops. Still appears to be connected and playing but no sound. I have tried forgetting and reconnecting on both watch and phone. Have rebooted watch. AirPods work perfectly with iPhone. Watch works perfectly with Bose bluetooth. It is very frustrating as bought AirPods Pro to use with Watch while walking without need for iPhone. This appears to be a long standing problem as I have seen earlier threads. I just can't believe that Apple has not fixed this.

AirPods Pro crashing IPhone 12 Since purchasing my AirPods Pro I haven’t been able to use them due to the fact that the AirPods Pro cause my iPhone 12 to crash. This only happens when my Apple Watch series 4 is connected to my phone. I’m hearing this issue has been ongoing since the iPhone 12 came out. Apple will you fix this bug? Or are you just going to keep pushing meaningless updates?

No sound is coming out of my AirPods I connect my Airpods Pro to my iPhone 11, but no sound is coming out. I was reading that it might be that my iPhone is connected to an Apple Watch. I would love to use my Airpods Pro with the phone and not disconnect my Apple Watch. Is that possible? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
