I've posted on this before but can't find my original post. When I'm working out, I use the apple music app. I have my workout playlist downloaded to the watch (s3). However, almost without fail, when one song ends, the next plays 2 seconds then just stops. I press play in the app again, but nothing happens. I have to skip several songs and then it will play again, but only for one song. I've tried restarting the watch and force quitting the app, but the problem persists. I'm not even streaming, the music is downloaded to the watch. I use bose soundsport headphones if that helps in diagnosing the issue.

Anyone else see this issue or have a fix? Thanks!!!

Try disable WiFi when working out to see if it’s solved? It seems like something trying to connect to Music server.

I also have the same issue. I think, it helps if you download the playlists by hand to your watch and switch off all auto-download playlists. Did that two weeks ago and it has worked ever since.

I tried this too and I still have the issue. I have two playlists, both relatively small, on my watch. The only thing that has worked is force quitting the app, then doing a full reboot of the watch. Haven't had the issue this week so far.

How do you do this? Airplane mode?
