Hello panheadgirl,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. You can download offline music content on your Apple Watch. This will allow you to play your favorite music without an internet connection. Here's how:


Add music using your Apple Watch
If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you can add music using your Apple Watch.

Note: Adding music isn’t available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. For more information, see the Apple Support article About Apple Music Voice.
1. Open the Music app  on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap Listen Now or Search, then navigate to music you want to add.
3. Tap a playlist or album, tap the More button, then tap Add to Library.
A message confirms that the item was added.

Note: You can stream music you add to Apple Watch when you have an internet connection. To play music when you’re not connected to the internet, you must first download it.
4. To download the music to Apple Watch, tap the More button again, then tap Download.
Music is added when Apple Watch is connected to power and Wi-Fi.

That information is outlined here: Add music to Apple Watch - Apple Support


Maps on an Apple Watch does require an internet connection either with cellular data on the Apple Watch or when its paired to your iPhone with cellular data. You can provide feedback about this by using this link here: Feedback - Watch - Apple


Kind regards.
