Apple Watch Bluetooth Settings for AirPods

On my iPhone Bluetooth accessories (AirPods) I can select "Connects Automatically" or "Connects when last connected to this device". With my Apple Watch I can't choose this option. I can either Disconnect or Forget the device. Disconnecting does not last and the Forget Device option also unpairs my AirPods from my iPhone. I need to be able to change how my AirPods connect to my Apple Watch.

Apple Watch Series 7

AirPods are connected to your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. Sound switches between them automatically. I am afraid there are really no other options. For more info, see:
