Very frustrating trying to fumble with the watch to continue spotify while running.
This has only started occurring the last few times running. Before that it worked fine.
As Patrick has posted, this is a bug which the latest software update has brought in. You have a couple of options:
1. Turn the guide off. You won't get verbal feedback, but your music won't stop. To do this, when you select your exercise eg running, BEFORE you press 'start running', scroll down to 'Guide frequency' and change this to NONE.
2. Use a far superior app for tracking your fitness such as Gear Tracker. It's in the Galaxy Store. Link below.

You will get a vibration or a bleep (user defined) and a lap screen with pace and distance at the interval you select and your music won't stop. The developer may introduce voice feedback (optional) in the future. I find it's better without as it's not as distracting. I can see in a split second what the voice feedback would take 20 seconds to tell me.
