I'm currently using 2nd gen watch and airpods hoping that my workout experience would be more hands free.

There are couple of things that I find off-putting about the experience and tend to simply stick with airpods + iphone.

1) You only get a few options in terms of what music you put on your phone. You cannot simply select the albums you want, you can choose these options:

* Classical Music

* My Top Rated

* Recently Played

* Top 25 Most Played

* 90's Music

* Playlists

I would much rather upload specific albums instead and find it really annoying that I have to jump through hoops to accomplish that goal.

2) Airpods really struggle to switch between iphone to iwatch. Half of the time they cannot pair correctly. My macbook pro and iphone have no troubles at all pairing but the iwatch seems to struggle a lot.

If those two things do not bother you then go for it. When you have the music you want on the iwatch and the airpods pair correctly, it's a really nice experience especially with exercising.
