Hi, Thank you. Yes, it is highly inconvenient so hoping it podcast playback comes to the watch in the future. So for now at least, I will just have to use my phone for podcast. Alex, have you also found that music playback is also fairly limited on the watch? I am a apple music subscriber, but I can only see some of my playlists but that’s all. I can navigate through artists, albums, songs etc, but I also thought I would gain access to the “for you” section but I didn’t see it on the music app for the watch. And finally, could I have my phone paired to my BeatX, while my watch is paired to it? I know the AirPods have this capabilities, but not sure if the BeatsX has it too. Thanks
