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.
