Connect Bluetooth headset to watch & iPhone simultaneously?

This is a great question. I have an AppleWatch S2 and am wasting money buying BT devices that it won't sync with. I mean literally I follow these steps with NO resolution

1. Put Headphones in pair mode

2. Go to setting on watch and select Bluetooth and I see the headphones.

3. I tap pair ...

4. Cycling dots to show processing

5. Please be sure to turn Bluetooth device on and put in in pair mode

6. Waste hours reading threads that are filled with people who don't know the answer to the question telling me not to use the device as intended.

I want to use my watch during workouts where I don't have my phone with me. Fewer distractions. This is how it was intended to work. I have used BT 3.0 to BT 4.1 with NO success.

Meanwhile, my phone is autoloading music taking up storage that it will NEVER play at this rate.

So if anyone knows what they are talking about, in regard to syncing please answer the question people who want to tell me I'm doing it wrong, go away and stop trolling.

Sorry about that Iris, it was intended as a general reply.

This Bluetooth issue has been frustrating me, and finding 4 pages of people telling you to not use your watch the way you would like to, or more to the point just an answer to your question about how to get a proper pairing.

Again, this thread wasn't about how to simply pair a headset with your watch. It was about how to pair one with both devices. And that can't be done.

The iris is one of my favorite flowers so, it's all good.

Well I got mine connected to both so *shrug* it took resetting my watch and restoring it. Now my earbuds are paired with Watch and iPhone.

So there's that, which is nice.

Sorry I offended you by being frustrated by people just saying it can't be done or do something else.

Have a great one!

I'm not sure why you think I'm offended. Disagreeing with someone does not imply offense, merely disagreement.

I'm not. Have a nice day yourself.

I bought a bluetooth headset to use specifically with my watch. I, too, am frustrated that I cannot pair both watch and phone with my headset. While I don't talk on my phone much I do listen to music and watch tv/movies on my phone and it would be nice to be able to use my headset while doing that instead of having to grab my Apple ear buds. I agree that a new update for this should be made.

I am sorry if you feel that way.

I am personally very happy indeed with the features and performance of my AirPods and BeatsX Earphones. Whilst I appreciate that your view appears to differ, I also feel that each product offers fair value for money.

No, what Apple did is come up with added technology (the W1 chip) that allowed this while still adhering to Bluetooth protocols. For you to be connected to both devices not using this you need to specifically find a set of BT headphones with two separate receivers that each can connect simultaneously to two devices.

I have the same problem and can’t find the answer.

The Bluetooth bud set will answer & hang up the call but the sound is only from the watch. I’m also amazed not many people have had this issue. Have you found a solution? JW

Someone replied that the Apple products (Beats) allow simultaneous pairing. Personally, I can’t afford expensive headsets like those so until there’s an update I will use my headset with my watch only.

I haven't used the BlueAnt recently. I'll have to dig it up and check.

Why don't you just connect it to the phone? I do that, and have no problems using the headset with the iPhone while the watch is connected.

Good to know, thanks. I guess all I really need is for the watch to instruct the phone to make a call. Hopefully that wouldn't be impossible.

can peace tell me watch and Bluetooth head set can use same time

how can i pair both item at ones
