Playing music on Apple Watch without cellular and WiFi connection

On the Apple page “how to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby” it says that I can listen to streamed Apple Music on my watch without a cellular or WiFi connection. I have been on many runs with my Watch and as soon as I leave the range of the WiFi and my phone, the music stops. How do I play music on my gps Apple Watch series 4 without service or a WiFi connection?

I can't see where it says you can stream music without cellular or wifi.

That would be magic!!



If you want to use your watch without cellular or wifi and listen to music, the music must be loaded on your watch.
