Using Bose earbuds with Apple watch

When trying to use my Bose earbuds with Apple Watch, I can’t because the Bluetooth on the watch is continually searching and not finding my earbuds. Also The Bose app I have in my iPhone did not transfer to the watch. Therefore I cannot listen to music from my watch. Please advise.

You need to make sure the Bose are not autoconnecting to your iPhone prior to you trying to connect them to your Watch.

Are the ear buds in discovery mode when you try to pair?


Apps don't install themselves on the watch you must instruct them to be installed. Go to to Watch app and scroll down to the bottom section. If there is a watch version for the Bose app, it would be there to install.
