Pandora, Audible, podcast controls

[NAYo2002]

Can someone who has an apple watch please check whether you can control pandora (skip tracks) or Audible audiobooks (skip/rewind seconds) using the app?

Also, are you able to locally store podcasts and audiobooks on the watch? If so, does the skip button change into 15-sec rewind?

I won't have mine until May. Thanks in advance.

It works on anything playing. Just used it to control Audible. Also I imagine that you can store audiobooks in the music app. You have a 2GB limit after all. So you should be fine as long as it's an MP3 or iTunes file.

Thank you! Would you by any chance have any audiobook or podcast files in your music library? I wanted to know if it changes to 10-sec skip/rewind button like on the iPhone music app with audiobooks/podcasts.

Anyone?

I can play and control my audiobooks as long as it's in the "now playing" glance. I can't figure out any way to search, or play audiobooks from scratch. They don't show up in the music app. And all I've seen is the ability to sync playlists to the watch. Audiobooks cannot be added to playlists as far as I can tell...

Here is a screenshot of the audio controls while listening to a podcast via the podcast app.

Here is what it looks like using Instacast playing a podcast.

Fast forward only goes to the next song.....no 10 second scrubbing!

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Now I just have to wait for my watch, and no more carrying my phone around at the gym.

I have an audible account and it lets me download a file that I can sync with iTunes to include it on my phone. They definitely show up on the playlist I created for audiobooks on my iPhone. Hopefully I'll be able to sync that playlist with the watch.
