How to Listen to Music on Your Apple Watch
Listening to music from your Apple Watch is a convenient option whether your iPhone is handy or not. But how you hear your favorite songs on your watch depends on your model and OS version. Any Apple Watch running watchOS 4.1 or later can listen to albums and playlists created on your iPhone. You can also listen to music streaming apps like Pandora, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, as well as Apple Music (if you're a subscriber).
If you have an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer, you can follow all the steps above, but also connect to Apple Radio and any music you've synced through iCloud. You can also stream music directly from the cloud. Let's look at the different ways to listen to music on your Apple Watch.

Your Bluetooth device should be listed and enter pairing mode. Tap the device name. The status should then show that it is connected.

Open the Watch app on your iPhone, open the My clock section, and then tap music. You can then activate Latest music to automatically add music you've recently listened to. Next, tap add music and find any albums or playlists you want to add. Choose one and tap the plus (+) icon at the top, then connect your watch to a charger and let the music sync.

With an Apple Watch Series 3 or later and watchOS 4.1 or later, you can listen to stations from Apple Radio. On the home screen, tap apple music Symbol. Swipe through the thumbnails for the different stations or tap the Apple Music 1 radio station to hear the current live broadcast.
To play custom radio stations on Apple Radio, you need to enlist the help of Siri. Play one on your watch by saying, "Hey Siri, play mine." [station name] Radio station." Your watch will then start playing the station. Apple Music subscribers can use a listing called Stations that allows you to listen to different stations by genre.
Listen with Siri
Additionally, Apple now offers a special voice plan priced at $4.99 per month, accessible on your iPhone with iOS 15.2 or later. With this plan, you have to use Siri to request songs and albums in Apple's vast universe. Think of a favorite song that isn't already in your own library.
Say "Hey Siri, play [name of song]' or 'Hey Siri, play the album [name of album] through [name of artist]' or 'Hey Siri, play [name of artist] Music" or "Hey Siri, play [genre name]." As long as that song is in Apple Music, Siri should honor your request.
The music player will appear on your watch so you can pause the song, play it, and control the volume. You can stop playback by saying "Hey Siri, stop the music".
iCloud Music
With an Apple Music subscription, you can sync your music to iCloud and play it on an Apple Watch Series 3 or later without having to sync them individually. To set this up, open Settings > Music on your phone and turn it on iCloud Music Library. You'll be asked if you want to keep your music or delete and replace it. It's best to choose keep music.

You can then pause, skip to the next track, or go back to the previous track on the player screen. You can also route the audio through a specific Bluetooth device. With a paid Spotify Premium account, you can play any song in any order, listen offline and avoid the ads. To switch between the music queue and player screen, just swipe left or right.

Other Third-Party Apps
Other audio apps that you can install and listen to on your watch are TuneIn Radio, Radio FM, and Music TV. However, there is a downside with certain third-party apps. Some apps are designed primarily for iPhone and have limited or no compatibility with Apple Watch and Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
In that case, your only option is to play the music through your iPhone (or connect your iPhone to a Bluetooth speaker as a pass-through to your watch). So you still need your iPhone to listen to music offered by such apps.
