Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. However, this whole process is very confusing. I’m not a power user who uses widgets and have no clue what a Smart Stack is. Now Playing seems like a pretty basic function between the watch and the phone. I use it when I’m listening to music when I have my phone tucked in a pocket when I’m biking, skiing, or even cutting the lawn. I’d rather use my old series 3. I only replaced it because the battery life had diminished to a large extent.
