I was having the same problem and found there was a disconnect with my appleid on just my watch. This was preventing music from syncing at night when my watch was charging.


try these steps:

  1. open Settings from your Aplle Watch(you have to do this on your watch, not the watch app on iPhone)
  2. Select ‘Music’
  3. Are you getting prompted to enter your AppleID password?
  4. if so, enter your password (digital touch is the most reliable way, but you can also use the keyboard option from an iOS device
  5. once your password is entered place your watch on the charger and open the Watch app from your iPhone.
  6. Select Music option to see playlist and verify the sync is occurring.
