Apple Watch won't give haptics IF AirPods are in ears AND cellular is on
So during a workout, I noticed this same issue from S7 back again but understood just today when it happens.
I wore an AirPod and sent myself messages while my Apple Watch ran on cellular data.
1. When the AirPod was in my ear - haptic feedback from the watch didn't happen, maybe 2 out of 20, but mostly not, and I heard the sound of the notification in the AirPod. So if I had a notification - the only ways to know is by hearing with the AirPod or looking at the watch unintentionally (NO HAPTIC).
2. When the AirPod was in case - haptic feedback worked, and the sound obviously came from the watch as well.
3. When the watch is in Bluetooth range of the iPhone - it works fine, no setting needs to be changed.
Why does the combination of cellular and AirPods messes the notifications from the watch? :\
I'm up to date with the software versions: iOS 16.5 and WatchOS 9.5.
