Android wearable support replacing music controls

With the newest update the ZR team has added wearable support, which I thought was awesome! But I tried it on my Pixel Watch 3 on my last run and have encountered a slight problem: the media controls for ZR completely replace the media controls for my Spotify playlist. On my phone, I can still control the two separately, but on my watch it just shows the screen for ZR.

I have the app set to "external music player" which I believe should be the right setting. The media control screen on my watch is also just a pause/play button and I'm not sure that's intended; from the update notes I got the impression that I should be able to start, stop and pause the run from my watch, but I can only pause and resume it once I've started it on my phone. I also can't find an option in the app to turn off the wearable integration; that would be my prefered solution at the moment so I can at least control my Spotify playlist while I run.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or knows a solution? The ZR team probably doesn't have any extra capabilites at the moment and I'm very happy and grateful they decided to implement this at all, but I might still send in a support request just to make them aware this feature might not be working the way they intended.

Got hooked on Deep Dungeons with Pilgrim's Traverse, now cleared all four of them solo!

Please excuse my screenshots, the PotD one is especially bad because my hands were shaking so much I had trouble aiming my mouse
