Music syncing to watch...

[MrMister111]

Is the only way to get music on via your iPhone? ie I have to first copy to my iPhone and then in watch app tell it which albums to sync? Do I then have to keep the albums on my iPhone all the time, otherwise if I was to delete they would then delete off my watch as well?

Its just I use Amazon music and so dont need any synced to my iPhone, but I do for when I'm in the gym without my iPhone?

why can't you just sync direct from iTunes to your watch?

thanks

You cannot sync directly from iTunes. From iPhone is the only way. However, if amazon ever feel motivated and develops their own streaming app, you could stream music from your watch.
You do not need to keep those synced music on Watch I think. I keep it cause I need it.

Once it's synced to my watch can I delete it from my iPhone? Don't need any music on my iPhone, that's the annoying thing?

I won't be able to stream as leave iPhone and just take watch, that's the prob, don't have the cellar watch, don't want it.

I want to keep the music on my watch for this reason for the gym.

Thanks

Yes, once you sync your music to your watch, you can delete the music from your iPhone, AS LONG AS YOU DONT LAUNCH APPLE WATCH APP AND NAVIGATE TO “MUSIC” MENU after deleting the music from your iPhone.

Ah ok thanks, that's a bit daft by Apple as well then isn't it? Why make something as complicated as this.

Put watch on charger, connected to your home WiFi, appears in iTunes, put music on...?....

Apple Watch is designed with iPhone in mind I am sure. Hence iTunes is out of equation from the very beginning. It is an expensive (yes) iPhone accessory struggling to “swing for the fences and take its name”. Recent LTE, GPS, altimeter and such, all to make Apple Watch less dependent but still.
