First, the Airpods connect with the Apple Watch, but they do not actually receive sound from it unless the iPhone is out of range.
Second, once the AirPods are paired with the Apple Device, they are automatically paired to all devices on the account. However, it is necessary to open the device, open bluetooth, and connect to the AirPods to have the AirPods work with that particular device at that time. If only one device, the AirPods are always active with said device save when disconnected. The AirPods must be in the ear in order to be active. I find that this is sometimes a little tricky, especially on the right ear. Occasionally, I put in the left ear, followed by the right ear, and then wait for the right pod to realise it is in the ear and connect. Some people are reporting similar difficulties. The fix is to factory reset the AirPods and start over. As this does not happen to me too often, I have not performed the factory reset yet. Apparently, the base is the primary Bluetooth controller. It creates the initial pairing. Then, each AirPod has the ability to be primary. The first AirPod to be placed in an ear becomes primary and handles the audio signal. If that AirPod is removed, control is passed to the other Pod.
