The Apple Watch does not include an FM radio.


You can get a cellular model and stream radio channels, but that is not the same thing.


With a GPS only model, you can download prerecorded radio shows as podcasts and play them (Overcast is a good choice as a podcast player).


You can download music and audiobooks to listen to on your Apple Watch.


Of course everything you do with a GPS only model can be done with a cellular model, and the cellular model can stream stuff from the internet as well.
