Can't add Spotify to AppleWatch with Family Share?

Just bought a new AppleWatch SE for my son, and I'm managing it on my family plan. I want to add Spotify but for the life of me I don't see how.


All the info on the web says to look for it under "Available Apps," but that designation doesn't exist on this SE.


Is Spotify unavailable on a family plan? We have a premium family setup, and he has his own account.

He doesn’t have an iPhone; I bought him a watch with cellular.


I find all of this confusing? I’m managing the watch through my phone, which does have Spotify. I don’t understand why third-party apps can’t be uploaded to an Apple Watch with cellular coverage? Or why that isn’t made clear at when you buy it? Or even later on…I’m spending a lot of time trying to figure out answers to questions that Apple have at their fingertips.
