    Don’t love the closed-in ecosystem but Garmin watches with MIP display do almost all you just said.

    • Touch screen + also Buttons for 100% touch-free interaction
    • Battery life of around 3 to 4 weeks (depending on what you are doing)… more with the Solar models
    • Media control is there, but don’t really use that

    Podcast ad skipping sadly not a thing.

    Price might be an issue though. The top end models with all the whistles come at a smartphone flagship price point.

      The Garmin Instinct is what I switched to when my Pebble died. Recently upgraded to the Fenix.

      You can absolutely skip ahead through ads with the music controls. Automating it would be the job of the app.

        You are right. I think I read that wrong. I thought automatic segment skipping like YouTube SponsorBlock. You definitely can fast forward using buttons.
