Wireless headphones and fitness watch

[lucky3]

Before the pandemic I primary exercised in a gym and would use my phone and the headphones that came with it. Now that I’m primarily exercising outside I’d like to find a watch that I could listen to podcasts and music on with wireless headphones. Is it as simple as using an Apple Watch and their headphones? I primarily run and bike.

Yes, but if you don't have the cellular plan for your watch, you'll have to take your phone with you.

I have an Apple Watch with cellular and airpods, and i love. love. love. it for exercising outside.

My airpods battery sucks now when i use it for phone calls for work - but it still seems ok otherwise.
