My Question or Issue:

After the most recent update I connected my watch to my phone using the provided code. but now if my phone is locked or Spotify is running in the background on my phone and I pause a track on my watch app my watch gets disconnects from the phone and I get the "START SPOTIFY ON ANOTHER DEVICE AND IT WILL APPEAR HERE" notification. I then need to open Spotify on my phone to start playback again.
