Can Oticon Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids connect to Garmin smartwatches?

Oticon (More, OPN, etc.) uses Bluetooth 5.0 and on their website Garmin isn’t listed. They list by smartphone OS - iPhone and Android. Garmin isn’t able to tell me what Bluetooth protocol they use. I’m guessing these two are not compatibility, but wanted to confirm if anyone has tried? I’m specifically interested in the Venu 2s, but I expect Garmin would use the same Bluetooth protocol for all their smartwatches and fitness watches.

The thing is, the Phonak hearing aids are able to connect to all bluetooth devices straight out of the box, what is known as “Bluetooth Classic”. On the other hand, (almost) all Oticon hearing aids use the MFI (Made For iPhone)/AASHA (Android Audio Streaming Hearing Aids) protocol.

So simple answer, it would only work with a ConnectClip.
