Hi @Jtalty, welcome to the community.

~~While you can have multiple bluetooth profiles on your phone, you can only actually have one bluetooth device connected at a time.~~

~~You will not be able to have both the watch and the car bluetooth connected at the same time.~~

I am wrong. You can have multiple devices connected under different profiles as others have said. Because your Smartwatch uses a voice profile, this is likely why you cannot connect it to your car audio at the same time.

Ah ok thats disapointing as i used to have a s7 edge and i would connect both. Is this a limitation on the phone ?

@Jtalty

You can connect multiple Bluetooth devices to your phone at the same time, but on different profiles. That means you can't have 2 devices that handle phone calls active at the same time.

I also have the car kit plus my smartwatch connected at the same time to my XZ. Only the watch is on call management profile, while the car kit is on audio only. So I have my smartwatch handling calls while I use my car kit to handle other audios (like music, navigation, etc.).

So basically when i wont to use my car to handle calls i have to manually disable the watch for calls so the car can connect to the Bluetooth for calls
