Hi all,

I'm having some troubles when streaming music from Music app directly from my Watch series 8.

When not playing anything, the search is fast (1-2 sec max). When I'm already streaming something and the wheel icon on the watch is present, indicating some wireless activity or syinc with iPhone, the search is really slow and often the watch returns the error saying to try again.

Here the steps to reproduce the problem:

- open Music app on Watch - search - search for something - stream to Airpods
- immediately after step 1, while the wheel icon is showing up, search again for something else as previous step. I see a really slow search, sometimes unsuccessful.

I'm running the latest updates on watch (watchOS 9.1) and iOS 16.1 on my iPhone X.

Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?
Please note the problem is occurring when the iPhone is connected either to mobile network or WiFi (speed of 800Mbps approximately). The WiFi is enabled on the watch and of course is connected to the iPhone via bluetooth.

Thanks!
