listening to Apple Watch through connected Bluetooth headsets

hi all
I seem to have developed a random problem in iOS 12.
Whenever I connect my Apple Watch to my headset, I literally have to stop my music to see the progression of my work out.
This was never a problem, but it seem to have randomly popped up, and I was 13. Two has not fixed it.
I have done the following: reported the bug to Apple, unpaired and repaired my Apple Watch, used multiple headsets, and anything else I can think of.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If so, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you
