Galaxy Watch auto starts music when starting workout from Samsung health

[Android Central Question]

Hello,

today I got a problem for the first time with my galaxy watch - when I start a workout via Samsung Health app, the built in Samsung music player auto starts playing music on my watch's speaker from a downloaded spotify playlist that I have saved on my watch for jogging. It is very annoying. The music auto starts every time the app's voice feedback in the workout routine ends, so even if i close the music app, after the next audio feedback it restarts. Spotify and Music apps are both closed and not running in the background. Previously everything was fine, I have not changed anything, this started happening out of the blue.

I moved this to the Galaxy Watch forum for more specific traffic.

I see the same issue. I jog without my phone and find if I set the music app to play music from the phone / act as a remote then it fixes the issue.

I hope they release a fix soon though
