AirPod pro drop connections continuously when using Apple Watch 5

Whenever I walk , etc. and use my Apple Watch paired to AirPod pro (leaving phone at home) they cut in and out. It has happened the whole time I’ve owned them. I’ve reset my watch and AirPod pro repeatedly without resolving the issue. Any hints? With the price of both products I would expect better

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

AirPods disconnect when I turn off my Apple Watch timer. I use my Apple Watch to time my rests between sets at the gym while listening to music or podcasts through my AirPods, and whenever the timer goes off on my watch and I stop it, one of several things happens: 1) The audio stops, and when I manually resume it, it plays through my phone speakers instead of my AirPods 2) The audio automatically resumes through my phone speakers instead of my AirPods 3) The audio has to be manually restarted but correctly resumes through the AirPods 4) The audio automatically resumes through my AirPods (how it should happen) There is no rhyme or reason to which of these four things will happen every time the timer goes off, and it’s pretty annoying to have to sort it out every other minute at the gym. I would’ve thought that since I’m using all Apple products, this wouldn’t happen.

AirPods low volume on one side with Apple Watch Seems like if I put in one AirPod at a time on and use music on my Apple Watch, on AirPod is always really low in volume. Even if I take it out and then back in. I have to take both out, and then put both in at the same time for it to work. I can replicate this pretty often. When I place one in and then the other it tends to occur, then taking both out and placing them on at the exact same time fixes the volume issue. It mostly happens with my Apple Watch, and I know it’s not dirt or the AirPods because it happens with the AirPods and AirPods Pro. They can’t both have the same issue, so I’m guessing it’s something with the Apple Watch. I keep the AirPods really clean and have done the whole unpair and repair thing. Anyone else experience this?

The double tap pause/play is set on my right airpod and has always worked fine. I now have an Apple Watch and the play/pause double tap doesn't seem to work, even though it is still indicated in settings. Any suggestions?
