I'm curious if anyone has a fully-functional connection between their Ionic watch and any brand of wireless headset via bluetooth to play music.     Does this capability work consistently for anyone?

 

There are so many threads in the forum on this topic - there's a lot of frustration that it simply does not work.   For me, i have a 99.9% failure rate - I was able to play music between my watch and earbuds once and only once - and despite everything I tried and suggestions from tech support, was never able to duplicate this success - the only thing that's consistent is that the music drops every 2-3 seconds, plays for 2-3 seconds, drops for 2-3 seconds.   Repeat forever.   

 

I'd be curious if anyone is actually satisfied with this functionality.   Better yet, if it does work, what kind of wireless headset are you using!

When I was using the feature, it worked just fine if I was stationary (usually sitting). When running, I never received satisfactory connectivity outside my very first run. Mostly it drops out due to signal blockage by my body since I wear my Ionic on my left wrist, and my wireless earbuds receiver is in the right ear bud.

I've since given up trying to use music on the Ionic.

 I was hoping to use my watch to listen to music via Bluetooth and not have to carry my phone.  Unfortunately that’s not happening when I run, if I am still it works just fine. Hopefully Fitbit fixes the problem makes a more powerful connection so that I’m able to use my wireless headphones
