Listening / Controlling Podcasts with Wired Headphones

Hi, loving my new Apple Watch, I tend to listen to podcasts when I go running but I only use wired headphones that are connected to my phone (ie I have non cellular watch). I can’t seem to find a way of changing podcast during my run or selecting another one when my current one has ended (without taking my phone out of its holder and doing it on the handset which is very distracting and inconvenient). When I try to do it on the app on my watch it asks me to connect to a Bluetooth device.


Am I missing something simple?

If you have your iPhone on you your watch should be connected to it.

Have you looked at your watch to see if it is connected to your phone while using the wired headphones?

Swipe up on the face to see the control center...see if you are connected.
