Please note that the Apple Music app on Apple Watch will only play through connected Bluetooth audio device; it will not play through the Apple Watch speakers.


After you connect Apple Watch to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, open the Music app  on your Apple Watch, then do any of the following:

  • Play music on your Apple Watch: Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through the Listen Now screen, then tap an album, playlist, or category.
  • Use the Apple Watch app on your iPhone to choose which songs to add to Apple Watch.
  • Play music from your music library: From the Listen Now screen, tap , tap Library, tap a category such as Playlists, Albums, Downloaded, or a recently added item, then choose music.
  • Request music from Apple Music (Apple Music or Apple Music Voice subscription required): Raise your wrist, then request an artist, album, song, genre, or portion of a song lyric.
  • Search the Apple Music library: Tap Search, enter an album, artist, or song, then tap Search. Tap a result to play it.
