This will be a method for which we will simply need two things. The first one will be of course an Apple Watch with which we can start downloading the music. On the other hand, we will need headphones or a bluetooth speaker to connect to our Apple Watch, since since said device does not have speakers focused on playing music, we need a device to connect it to and thus listen to music.
So you can listen to music on your Apple Watch
The method when listening to music from your Apple Watch is totally simple. First of all and to leave your iPhone without any use, what you should do is download the music to your watch. In order to listen to music on our Apple Watch without major setbacks, it is necessary to implement these simple steps, having previously paired the bluetooth headphones you want to use:
- Open the ‘Music’ app on your Apple Watch.
- Tap Listen or Search, then scroll to locate the music you want to add to your watch.
- Touch on a playlist or an album, click on the three dots and after that, click on ‘Add to Library’. A message will confirm that the item has been added to your library.
- For download music to apple watch, tap again and once you’ve tapped, tap on Download. Wait for the download to take place and everything will be done.
This will be a process that you can also easily perform from the Watch app on your iPhoneclicking on the Music app and once there, being able to add the playlists and albums you want, as we indicate in the image below.
Once you have the music downloaded to your Apple Watch, you can carry out a good number of options, among which are some such as:
- Play music on Apple Watch: Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through album artwork, and tap a playlist or album to play it on your watch.
- Play music from the library: If we do not have an LTE model, and we want to play the music downloaded from your Apple Watch, tap Downloaded and choose the music you want to listen to.
- Order music from Apple Music: Use Siri by raising your wrist to ask her to show you an album or to play some of the ones we have downloaded. Of course, you should know that you need an Apple Music subscription to do this process.
This method has certain limitations.
Yes, it is true that this is a tool that offers us good versatility when listening to music. That does not mean that it cannot give us the odd error that will of course limit the fact of listening to music from our watch.
The first problem that we are going to find is going to be, of course, that of storage. And it is that as you have already been able to verify, the music occupies a lot of space taking into account the short storage that Apple Watch has. This will happen to you especially if you have older models. Therefore, you must expect that the storage of your Apple watch is finite and therefore, you must expect that you may not have enough storage to download the music you want.
It should be noted that this method is not excessively polished either, so in any case the fact of carrying out the connection can be problematic. Either because instead of connecting it through the headphones, we make it so that it plays on the iPhone or because they do not detect the headphones. Therefore, we must know the method correctly to carry out the connection without major problems.
On the other hand, we also have the more than usual connection problems that we can run into when we talk about bluetooth connections, so in any case, they are options that you should have. Of course, all these are problems that can be solved by correctly configuring bluetooth and headphones.
