Podcasts keep restarting

My forerunner 955 works fine except for one problem - I keep listening to 1 hour podcasts in typically 10-15 minute chunks using the internal music player, but sometimes when I start listening part way through a podcast, it starts from the beginning! This is very annoying for 1 hour episodes as there's no easy way to resume, I have to throw away the last half of the episode.

The sequence of events is very predictable.

  1. Put earbuds in (JLab Epic Air Sport A)
  2. Click watch "Now playing"
  3. Watch syncs with earbuds
  4. Plays about 3 seconds from where I left off
  5. Watch claims it can't contact earbuds
  6. I click to connect again
  7. Watch syncs with earbuds
  8. Plays about 3 seconds from where I left off
  9. Podcast episode resets to the beginning

When it goes wrong it's always this sequence, always plays those few seconds twice (steps 4 and 8). The connectivity is clearly okay as it plays some of the podcast before resetting.

However, this problem only happens about 1 in 3 times that I start listening, the other times after steps 1 to 3 it just plays normally from where it left off.

I have a feeling this started happening a few months ago but not sure (or the behaviour was similar but different previously.

Any idea what I can do?
