I have an Apple Watch 3, and only my AirPods and the Apple Watch speaker show up whether I use the control center or force tap on the music app song playing screen. From googling around, I got the impression that I should be able to see wifi based airplay devices. My iPhone sees all of them on my network, I have 2 Apple TV's and my Sonos bridge listed as Airplay options on my iPhone, but my Apple Watch doesn't. I've tried restarting, no luck. Am I correct that my Apple Watch should see wifi airplay devices?

Apple watch will only play to bluetooth devices, not airplay devices.

My mistake, perhaps this article can shed some light not he matter for you.
