except the article is wrong that 3rd parties cannot stream to the Apple Watch. Pandora does. Spotify has just not released an app that will do it. It is up to Spotify to provide support.

Unfortunately your in no luck,

The choice is very simple:

You want a work-out watch : Garmin/Fitbit or any other that support spotify premium users/offline music that you paid.

If you prefer just the fun of the apple stuff without the work out portion... stay with your apple watch :) but even then its not easy for music :)

Now you will say: what if I pay itune officially.. well they even made it difficult for you to do that ... imagine after paying and paying still its not easy.

Look, you want a simple watch that is more precise for GPS and that allow you to use your "spotify premium that your already paying" my answer: Garmin forerunner 245, if your ready to pay as much as apple price then look for the super powerful garmin fenix series, you'll see, you'll get 1000% more and better precision if your goal is strictly work-out intelligent watch.

Again if your goal is to keep your apple Goodies keep your apple watch but for a real workout watch that doesn't block you because they offer them self a music paying service, get another watch... you'll feel better immediately :)

Thats my honest opinion after having purchased many iphones, 2 apple watches, even got an apple computer... and trying an itune subscription and still no luck... forget it its no win situation ... unless you want to open your windows and continue throwing money... someday they will make it easier but only for iTunes subscribers :)

Good Luck but trust me better to invest a 300-500$ CAD (or less in USD) and immediately get what you want.

bye bye Apple

At present, you are only allowed to play Spotify music on Apple Watch. If you want to play Spotify music on Apple Watch without iPhone, you may need to download Spotify music to your Apple Watch. To download Spotify music to your Apple Watch, you need the help of Spotify music converter. With it, you can download Spotify music to MP3 then transfer Spotify music tracks to Apple Watch for playing even without an Internet connection.

The fact that spotify has devoloped apps with offline music for both garmins and galaxy watches tells you that the problem is probably with apple. Apple watch is the most popular smart watch so it wouldn't make sense for spotify not to try to support it. On the other hand, spotify is the biggest competitor to apple music so it would make sence for apple to not allow full functionality for it.

I would have bought an apple watch without a second thought if it wasnt for the lacking spotify support. But the lack of it actually made me find the galaxy watch active 2 instead which I now love so I'm not really disappointed

It's simple. No.

I just got the Apple watch specifically with the hopes that I can work out and listen to Spotify without my phone. I didn't realize this was not an option and am so disappointed I am considering returning the watch. Ugh.

I’m so confused. Before I purchased an Iwatch a few days ago I specifically called Apple to ask if I can listen to Spotify offline and the Apple consultant gave a resounding yes! He said I can download up to 500 songs on to the watch and run without taking my phone with me. So I’ve now bough The watch - and I can’t. Now what?

Hmm, not tried that one, but I guess they are not as well established as Spotify. Anyways, just a wild guess from my side. Quite sure that it’s not a programming issue. More about the rights.

I consider the Apple Music just to have access to my offline music on the watch. The cost is basically the same, 10$ a month wit unlimited streaming. Then again, my whole Spotify library lost if I transfer. Not sure if Apple Music offers the same amount of songs either...

Yes even at my advanced age I am still able to walk 😀

Not sure where you are going with the rest of your post. Spotify can choose to develop an app and submit it to the App Store. They have chosen not to.

You can play music from sources beside Apple.

Pandora paid users can Stream, and transfer off-line playlists to the Apple Watch.

If you have your own music files on your iPhone, you can transfer that to the Apple Watch.

If you have some other music service that allows off-line playlists, you can most likely transfer them to the Apple Watch.

Spotify is not the only game in town.

According to this, Spotify may be implementing an Apple Watch streaming client

Spotify finally testing Apple Watch streaming support with some users

One of the main reasons why I bought the Apple watch was to work out and listen to Spotify without my phone. I am frustrated finding out now that I can’t. I am also considering returning the watch.

Yes, you can now. You can get the new Watchify app for your Apple Watch so you can use Spotify without having your phone with you. You have to have Spotify premium though. I’ve just downloaded it and tested it and it does work.

You can convert your playlist from Spotify to Apple Music. This is Spotify's problem, nobody else. Why support a company that doesn't listen to its customers?
