Airpods disconnecting when garmin connect is enabled

Hi Team Garmin,

I've been having exactly the same issue, I've bought the Forerunner 570.

I can easily connect either my bluetooth Airpods pro 3 to my phone or I can connect the watch to my phone. 

But when the Garmin is connected the Airpods Pro firstly connect for roughly 0.5 to 1 second and then immidiately disconnect. 

I've done the above:

Unpairing and forgetting the watch as well as the airpods. 

Reseting the Network settings. 

Power cycle both the Iphone and the Garmin watch. 

Repair watch and headphones. 

But after 3 tries the airpods still immidiately disconnect if I try to connect them together. 

Do you have any other ideas how to solve this?

Looking forward to your reply,

I have that same issue with pro 3

Hello,
I have the same issue. I have the venu 4 model. 
Did all the steps mentioned above but my AirPods are still disconnecting to my iPhone 1 second after connecting.

When turning of the bluetooth connection from my phone to the garmin connect app, my AirPods runs smoothly but as soon as I reconnect my AirPods connection fails.

iOS version: 26.5

AirPods version: Pro 2

Garmin connect version: 5.30.1

Please assist with troubleshooting

HI there, I have sent you an email to gather additional information.  

Same here! I just bought the Venu 4 and it’s going crazy. I tried resetting the Bluetooth and helped for 2 minutes.. 

Thanks for lettings us know, I'll be reaching out to you.

Hi there, same issue here

Same issue here. Just switched from an Apple Watch, and wonder if really did the right thing. My AirPods are so important to me that I’m going back until this is fixed. 

Works if I disable Garmin Connect in the bluetooth menu, but thats not a permanent fix.
