AirPods connectivity issue with Apple Watch 4

my AirPods work well with my iPhone but when I use them with my Apple Watch 4 (up-to-date system), the music keeps stopping and I hear a tone and then the music starts again. It happens a lot so it's annoying and eventually I take the pods out and work out without music. Any ideas?

Apple Watch audio cuts out after a few seconds Has anyone found a fix for the audio on their AirPods cutting out any a few seconds after connecting? The watch shows that the music is still playing but nothing is heard on my AirPods. I’ve seen a lot of people post they are having the same problem but no resolution

Poor audio quality with AirPods Pro 2 since iOS 16 update : anyone else ? Hi Everyone, Once again, an iOS major update ruins audio quality over Bluetooth. I recently purchased AirPods Pro 2, and they sounded stellar on my iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15.7. Then iOS 16 (or 16.02) ruined that excellent audio quality. Soundstage has narrowed and is now poorly crowded. It is obvious on Apple Music with Dolby Atmos tracks. Going back to iOS 15.7 is not a solution since my Apple Watch updated to WatchOS 9 and is now incompatible with iOS 15.x. Even Apple Watch delivers better audio via Bluetooth (but no Dolby Atmos). Has anyone experienced the same ?
