Question

How do I get music on my watch without having to put it on my iPhone? I don't have space on my iPhone for music.

I have an iPhone 5c (8GB) and unless I delete everything, I only have 545MB left. If I put music on my phone, I won't have space to take photos (which I do a lot.. and delete a lot). So my question is..... how do I get around that to put music on my watch? Can I do it through iTunes? Or if I do make space on my iPhone for music, can I then delete it off my phone without it deleting from my watch?

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1

Hi Angelika

It is not possible to add music directly to Apple Watch from iTunes, bypassing your iPhone.

It is also not presently possible to delete synced music from your iPhone whilst keeping it on your watch. If you remove the music from your iPhone, it will be removed from your watch automatically when you next charge your watch whilst it is connected to your iPhone.

If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding new sync-related options for music, you can do so here:
