Music controls timing out?

Loving my 5X plus but I keep having issues with my music controls dropping from the screen that says what song it is and showing the controls, it ends up saying "start music on phone" but strangely enough I can still use the start/stop button to do so to the music playing. I haven't disconnected from my phone or the GC app or Apple Music player app, it just suddenly thinks that I don't have my music app open. I have to turn off my phone and restart it, just closing the app and opening it again doesn't tell my watch that it's active.

Strange.

Any thoughts here? I stream Apple Radio(via the Apple Music app) to my office speaker and watch controls make it easy. I had a 5X before that did not have this issue. But my 5X plus does. I have tried removing any MP3s that I put on it, thinking maybe it was causing a default thing to happen but that hasn't worked either.

Help?
