Listen to music on your Apple Watch: Music on apple watch without iPhone: Learn how to manage playlists and listen to music on your Apple Watch. The Apple Watch has 6.2GB of available storage, of which 2GB can be used to store music. You sync music with Apple Watch via your iPhone and the Apple Watch app, no Mac or iTunes required (but, the music must be on your phone in the Music app, or in iTunes in the Cloud). Once your music is synced, you’re free to listen as long you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I paired a few sets easily via the Apple Watch’s Bluetooth settings: In the Apple Watch Music app, you need to Force Press and select “Source” as Apple Watch. Once that awkward step is done, music plays just like on an iPod.
