Connectivity via bluetooth is handled in the Music app on the Watch. Meaning, when you hit Play, it asks what bluetooth audio device to connect. With that said, Spotify would need to implement the same.

I just installed the new version of Spotify on my iPhone 6, the app appears immediately on my series 3. It is limited for the moment but there is an interesting “feature”. When I scroll the crown to control the sound, there is a haptic feedback which is not supposed to be present on the series 3 ! Any idea why that is ?!
Spotify for the Apple Watch is rolling out to all users over the coming week. Announced by the company today, the release follows a beta version of the app that appeared in early November, and comes well over a year since Spotify hired "Snowy" developer Andrew Chang onto its team to help build the app.
Spotify says the app provides users with useful playback controls and the ability to connect to their music speakers and other devices through Spotify Connect. Like Apple Music on Apple Watch, Spotify subscribers will now be able to hit play, pause, skip, and rewind songs by interacting with their Apple Watch.
Additionally, users will be able to access their recently played songs and favorite the currently playing song by tapping the heart icon on the Apple Watch screen. Down the line, Spotify plans to make music and podcasts available to listen offline on Apple Watch, among other updates it hasn't yet announced.
To get the Spotify app for Apple Watch, the company says that users will need to make sure they have the latest version of the Spotify iOS app (8.4.79), and they should begin seeing the Apple Watch version of the app over the next week.

Haha... I’d definitely use Apple Music if it was the better app. It’s nothing against Apple.

Huh? Most people don’t have good enough headphones to justify a simple EQ? The headphone industry has absolutely exploded. When I was a young nerd in the 90’s with my first pair of headphones, no one used them/talked about them, and do on. Now every other person wears a pair of Beats, and tons of niche high end audio manufacturers have jumped in. It’s the weirdest phenomenon.
Anyway, it definitely isn’t a lack of good headphones. Maybe a lack of appreciation for the way music sounds, sure ♂️— but we’re also not talking about more than a 1,000 lines of code.
And it has now had its data connection severed. I’ll wait for confirmation from others that they are getting an error message, but it looks like it’s time to say bye-bye to Apollo.
It still seems to be working for me. The search works and my playlists works. What isn't working for you?
