iPhone and Apple Watch users with Spotify have been waiting for the app to make the jump to the smartwatch for some time, and it looks like the streaming music service is almost ready to deliver. Users with access to the beta version of Spotify’s iOS app have reported that the latest build includes a companion app for the Apple Watch.

• Popular music service Spotify will finally be coming to the Apple Watch in the near future via an official app, developed in conjunction with the creator of a third-party client, Snowy.

• Spotify on Tuesday criticised rival Apple, saying that a new subscription bundle offer from the iPhone maker abuses its dominant market position by favouring its own Apple Music service.
• An official Spotify app for Apple Watch is coming, as third party developer Andrew Chang has announced on Reddit. His vision for a Spotify Apple Watch app called ‘Spotty’, which was eventually renamed ‘Snowy’, has impressed the streaming music service that they will now partner together: Hi all, thanks for your patience and understanding.
• The App Store’s release notes indicate this is a “first version” of the Watch app, which hints more changes will come. Spotify confirms that’s the case, noting that a future release will.
• Spotify emphasizes in its release notes that this is the first version of its Apple Watch app. Presumably, that means more features are forthcoming.

The good news is that it appears Spotify’s Apple Watch app could be released in the near future; the bad news is that in its current form it’s only used to control music playback from a nearby iPhone. There’s no evidence of offline support, sadly, which would allow subscribers to store music on the Watch, leave the phone at home, and listen while working out or running, for example.

It appears Spotify users will have developer Andrew Chang to thank for the Apple Watch app. Chang was hired by the music service after creating Snowy, an unofficial app that supported offline Spotify on the smartwatch.

There’s no word on when the Apple Watch app will be available for everyone, and while it’s a long way off from offering features like offline syncing and Siri control, it’s still better late than never for Spotify users.

Does Apple Watch 6 support streaming Spotify music directly without an ‌iPhone‌ connection? Sorry, the answer is still no. But Spotify is now testing direct Apple Watch streaming for select users. However, there is still no news on storing a playlist locally for offline listening. - read more

Spotify officially released its Apple Watch app on Nov 13, 2018. With this new app, users can enjoy an improved experience with better control and the ability to seamlessly connect to your speakers or devices.

Spotify’s first Apple Watch version includes the ability to access and control your favorite Spotify music and podcasts from wrist, and control how music is played to compatible Spotify Connect devices. But one important feature is missing: you can't store Spotify music locally on your wrist for offline listening.

The lack of offline playback may disappoint you. It means you still can't go for a run with just Bluetooth headphones and leave iPhone at home. Spotify is promising that offline playback support is coming in the future, however, it's not achieved. Unfortunately, it's a similar story for Apple Watch LTE owners with a data contract who were hoping to stream Spotify music directly from their wrist for listening on a pair of connected Bluetooth headphones. Currently the ability to do this doesn't exist in the Spotify app and there's a good chance it never will, since Apple's API for watchOS 5 doesn't permit third-party apps to use direct cellular or Wi-Fi streaming.
