Apple Watch Ultra 2 issues

I have been noticing some issues with the Apple Watch Ultra 2

Wifi issues - not being able to download audio books from Audible with out having to restart the watch, reconnect to Wifi and then keep the screen on to watch the download which could take up to 30 minutes to download one audio book.

I have high speed Wifi on average 260 Mbps for all my other Wifi devices, which I have tested

2.Audio issues- For some reason with the Podcast app there is no audio control. I have to go into the settings and turn up the audio there. Which appears not to increase the audio for the Podcast I am listening to. This is especially an issue when it come to using my AirPod's because there is no volume control on the version I have. If I connect my Bose headphones then I have audio control on the headphones that works.

3.For some reason I am not able to stop and/or Pause the Podcast that is playing. To stop it I have to close the app. Which I click on Play it works to play the Podcast, but the icon does not switch to any other option. When I keep pressing it nothing happens once the Podcast is playing.

4.Updating the Apple Watch with patches/software updates. I have to go through the step one above several times to get the download to start and keep doing these steps over and over again until the update is installed.

Is anyone else experiencing issues?

Ben_Z1,

Thank you for your response, and I did mentioned above that I was trying to do the updates but it was taking several hours to try to download. With me having to turn off my Watch and turn it back on several times.

i thought I would be upgrading from my Oura ring, but the Ultra2 is a bad mistake. Worst example is this mornings deep sleep results: Deep sleep: Ultra 2 min, Oura 1hour 2 min. Other sleep data varies much, but not at much as the deep sleep count. However, distance walked as well as elapse time is also way out. At least with the Oura ring I have years of very similar results for the same walking trails. With the Ultra there is such a variable result. I’m so disappointed with this watch. A $35 internet watch gives more accurate results.
