Watch Connection cutting in and out I am having an issue when use my watch to listen to music. I will use the Apple AirPods and select while mowing the lawn. When I get further from the house the connection starts to go in and out. This happens also at the gym when I get further from my phone. Is this a Wi-Fi thing or do I need to completely turn off my phone in order to work? It’s weird seems glitchy. My watch will work fine if I turn off my phone completely, but do I have to do that every time? Should it automatically pick up the best signal?

Apple Watch Ultra Cellular Issue Bluetooth Must Be Off lets say that my iPhone battery died, but I’m using Apple Watch Ultra to communicate with my family and friends using built-in cellular technology (AT&T). The only way my watch will connect to cellular, if my watch’s Bluetooth is off. Only then I’m able to connect to cellular to receive phone calls or exchange imessage communication. The problem is that when I turn off Bluetooth, then I cannot connect to EarPods/headphones. I’d have to bring my watch to my mouth and use the watch speaker to speak to my friends and family. Turning off Bluetooth is an inconvenience because I won’t be able to listen to music, or attend phone calls on EarPods. Is there a fix to this issue?

My Apple Watch is connected to my hearing aids but will not play phone calls through them. All other sound sources on the watch play through the hearing aids.
