BT Headset Identify

[rippityrippity]

Can't get the watch to identify my skullcandy method wireless headphones. I've tried numerous times...any suggestions?

How long are you waiting while your headphones are in pairing mode? With my Beats Solo 3 Wireless, I had to sit there and wait about three minutes before it was detected. Which was strange because these are a $300 pair of headphones, and pairing a $10 pair of headphones I got off Amazon only took a few seconds.

I've waited and tried every possible way, and I've powered off the watch and retry but it still won't see them...

BT pairing is much improved over previous software versions. I'd try to make the phone not pick up the headphones, turn BT off of the phone.

Go to connections. Go to bluetooth. Tap bluetooth headset. Power on your headphones and hold the button until it goes into pairing mode. The watch will pick it up.

I would add the bluetooth headphone icon to your dropdown menu to quick toggle it.

So if you are on your phone with headphones connected, disconnect your headphones from the phone. Then go to the watch dropdown, tap the headphones icon. The headphones will show up as connected, viewed as a blue dot next to the headphones icon.

From then on, switching between phone and watch will be easy.
