My solution is basically the same. So far it has worked perfectly ~20 times, and never drops out after working. In my case, I'm using a Versa 2 that I downloaded a music playlist to form iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop (using the FitBit app and a physical USB connection). The steps also work with my wife's Versa 2 with music downloaded from her Mac.) For reasons that escape me, if using the Versa 2 to listen to music sourced from a smartphone, the following steps aren't necessary; the Galaxy Buds seem to pair and sync just fine.)
You have to have the music downloaded before doing the following steps.
1. Turn off Bluetooth on any other device the Galaxy Bud (GB) was paired to (or remove the GB device from other devices).
2. In Versa 2, scroll to Settings > Bluetooth and add the GBs (add audio device, open case, and choose to pair the GBs).Close the GB case once paired. (You only need to do this the first time.)
3. Scroll to Versa 2 music app on watch, and (a) change the Source to the watch and (b) choose the GBs to pair. Open the GB case with the GBs in the case, and wait until pairs. (You can also do this step by opening the bottom-left ... symbol on the Music Controls page.)
4. Put one GB bud in your ear (it doesn't matter which one) and start playing music from your playlist. (Keep the other bud in the case.) You won't hear anything yet, but make sure the sliding status bar at bottom is showing the music is playing. (The > play symbol may turn to || pause, but may not.)
5. Close the GB case for a second and then re-open. You should now hear music. But it may sound garbled, with odd pauses or playing too slow/fast.
6. Keeping the GB case open, put the second bud in your other ear. You may hear music in it, or not. If so, it will sound out of sync with the first pair.
7. Put the first bud back in the case (keeping the second in your ear). Close the case for a second and re-open.
8. If the buds still aren't playing properly, repeat steps 5-7 with each bud separately, putting one in the case, closing and re-opening, then doing the same with the alternate bud.
9. Both buds should now be properly synced to each other and play just fine from now on out. You'll also notice the watch controls for play/pause and volume +/- will work correctly now.
If you lose the pairing, you'll need to repeat steps 3-9 to re-pair and sync each bud with the watch.
Once you do it a few times, it's not too annoying.
Please give it a try and reply if you find anything I've missed.
