I am thinking of purchasing the Apple Watch 4 GPS only for my husband. I want to make sure he can put our Apple Music playlists for him to listen to when he works out. I know you need cellular to stream podcasts and music but if its already downloaded on your phone, can you load onto your watch and be without your phone in order to listen to your own playlists?
Sync music and podcasts to your Apple Watch
You can add specific albums, playlists, and podcasts to your Apple Watch by syncing them. After you sync, you can play the music on your Apple Watch without your iPhone.
Sync music to your Apple Watch
- Set your Apple Watch on its charger and make sure that the device is charging.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
- On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap the My Watch tab.
- Tap Music >
Add Music.
- Choose the music that you want to sync.
Under the Automatically Add section, you can turn playlists off or on. Music that's in heavy rotation is automatically added to your Apple Watch. And if you're an Apple Music subscriber, personalized mixes are automatically added to Apple Watch.
If you can't add specific albums or playlists, try downloading them to your iPhone before you sync with your watch. You can't add audiobooks to your watch.
