Steps

Open the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap the Watch app icon, which resembles a black-and-white side view of an Apple Watch.
Tap My Watch. It's a tab in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will open your Apple Watch's settings page.- If you have more than one Apple Watch synchronized to your iPhone, select the Apple Watch to which you want to add music before proceeding.
Scroll down and tap Music. This option is in the "M" section of the list of apps that are on your Apple Watch.
Tap Add Music…. It's below the "PLAYLISTS & ALBUMS" heading in the middle of the page.
Select a category. Tap one of the following options:- Artists
- Albums
- Genres
- Compilations
- Playlists
Select music to add. Tap the album or playlist which you want to add to your Apple Watch.- If you selected Artists, you'll first have to select an artist before you can tap an album to add.
Wait for the music to finish uploading. You'll see a progress bar below an "Uploading..." heading near the top of your iPhone's screen; once the progress bar disappears, the music is on your Apple Watch.Advertisement
Community Q&A
- QuestionDoes the music to be added to an Apple Watch come from iTunes or must it first be added to the iPhone and then to the watch?
Kolby NgCommunity AnswerThe music must be added to your phone before syncing it to your watch. The phone uses your music library, not the iTunes store for you to choose. - QuestionI don't see "uploading" or a progress bar!Kolby NgCommunity AnswerIf you don't see either of it, then you should see Pending. If you don't, then add some songs with the aforementioned way.
- QuestionHow long does it usually take to add a playlist to the Apple Watch because mine has been going for hours, is that normal?Kolby NgCommunity AnswerIt depends all how many songs are in your playlist, if it contains a lot, then the downloading process to the watch will take a few hours at least.
Tips
- You can delete music from your Apple Watch by tapping Edit in the upper-right corner of the Watch app's "Music" page, tapping the red circle to the left of a category of music, and tapping Delete to the right of the music.Thanks
Warnings
- Apple Watches have extremely limited storage space, so you most likely won't be able to add your entire music library to your Apple Watch.Thanks
- You cannot listen to music on your Apple Watch without first synchronizing the Apple Watch to a pair of Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth speaker.[1]Thanks
