Listen Offline On watchOS Still Not Working (Spotify)

Per Spotify's 5/24 post, "Listen offline" is now generally available, but we ("Premium Family" subscription) still do not see the option to Download a playlist to our Apple Watch.

We are using Series 6 watch running 7.5 paired with 12 Pro running 14.6 - the Spotify app is also running its latest code as it doesn't show any available updates.

Has anyone been able to listen to Spotify off their watch either in offline or cellular streaming mode with their phones out of "remote" distance and if so, will you please share your secret?

This is not a bug on Spotify or Apple's part. Spotify/Apple have decided to allow this capability and their public post is announcing just that. The feature will be enabled when it is the turn of each of our user ids and not before that. I am actually thankful that last night this feature was granted to one of the IDs on our account - this means that it will probably be available to the rest of us too - so we are going to behave and check every day to see if it is our turn :) Thank you Spotify and Apple!
