My Apple Watch (series SE) won’t connect to my Bluetooth MPOW Flame headphones. It connects on settings fine, but once I’m in Spotify it won’t find them and actually play the music through my headphones.

This might be limits dictated by content protection (DRM), or a problem or limit within the Spotify app itself.
Try playing music that you have purchased or otherwise own, and see if that works as expected. That shouldn’t encounter DRM. And that’ll also bypass the Spotify app.
Check with Spotify app support, and with Mpow support (if Bluetooth) or with the Bluetooth adapter vendor support (if Mpow is not native Bluetooth), as well.

Thank you! I tried connecting my Bose Bluetooth headphones to Spotify on my watch and it worked perfectly fine. So, like you said, this might a limit within the Spotify app itself. Very frustrating, as the app apparently cannot support music through the headphones that I go running with.
It may be that the headphones (or the Bluetooth receiver, if separate) don’t support the necessary DRM; rights management.
