Are you referring to the One UI Watch 5 update? Large system updates can sometimes cause weird glitches. If the setting is enabled in the watch (and the Galaxy Wearable app), yet not working properly, I recommend factory resetting and restoring the watch from a backup.

I was having same issue.  I connected to new phone and did the update on my watch and my media controls were not working as they should.  Did the reset and everything working properly again!
