Solved: Play Spotify Music offline on Apple Watch

Spotify, the famous music streaming service has released an official Apple Watch version on Nov. 13, 2018, but don't expect too much from this first incarnation. Currently it only allows you to control music playback on your phone or another connected device, such as a smart speaker from your wrist. The Apple Watch itself won't play Spotify music, even though your Watch is connected to Wi-fi/cellular and Bluetooth headphones. Currently Apple's API for watchOS 5 doesn't permit third-party apps to use direct cellular or Wi-Fi streaming.

Besides, it doesn't support syncing music to your watch so that you can go for a run with only the watch. Is there any way to offline play Spotify music on Apple Watch? Many people ask. Well, here we will show you a solution.
