Every time I am listening to music with my AirPods and my Apple Watch gets a notification, my AirPods disconnect from my phone and the music stops. It’s very annoying because I am constantly having to reconnect my AirPods to my phone. They will disconnect multiple times while listening to 1 song. I’ve tried re-pairing my AirPods and watch, but it did nothing.

Hey hannaahart,
It appears that your AirPods keep disconnecting from your iPhone whenever your Apple Watch receives a notification. We'd be looking for a solution to this too, and we're glad to provide assistance.
Switch AirPods between iPhone and other devices - Apple Support -- It sounds like the focus of your AirPods moves to your Apple Watch because of the notification. Let's see if stopping your AirPods from automatically switching helps. You'll find the steps just above "Choose between AirPods and other playback devices for your iPhone audio".
If that doesn't resolve the issue, please refer to the steps below and test after each pair:
Restart your Apple Watch and paired iPhone starting with the iPhone first
Make sure both your Apple Watch and iPhone are up to date
Unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone, then set it up again
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
All the best.

I have tried all of these things. When the “switch AirPods between devices” step didn’t work, I followed the other steps listed but my AirPods are still disconnecting every time I get a notification on my watch.
Thank you for trying those steps and getting back to us, hannaahart. It’s appreciated. Since the provided steps didn’t correct the issue, please reach out to Apple Support: Get Support
Take care.
