Not receiving Workout Alerts while listening to Music

Whenever I listen to music with my AirPods connected to my Apple Watch during workouts, I receive audible workout alerts about my workout progress from Siri.

(Watch Settings > Workout > Voice Feedback: On)


As soon as I try to do the same thing with my iPhone close by the AirPods ALWAYS connect to my iPhone for Music and that obviously stops the propagation of audible workout alerts from my Watch.


I tried to disconnect the AirPods Bluetooth connection from my iPhone, connect them to my Watch and start the music (on my Watch) again. It immediately switches the AirPods connection back to my iPhone and plays the music over this connection again.


This renders workouts with my Watch useless if I can’t hear the workout progress alerts when my iPhone is somewhere close by.


How can I receive workout alerts while listening to music and having my iPhone close by?
