Managing music on the Apple Watch is a nightmare

Hello
Here I come again to expose my frustrations with an issue, in order to seek patience and calm from you my ollistec friends.

Today the topic is regarding that I can’t smoothly play music from my Apple Watch through my earphones (they are not AirPods but that is not the problem).

I wont be talking much about the spotify watch app because it is not very accessible and some of the main buttons are not labeled, for example when you are on a playlist, but I am not able to play a spotify playlist I have downloaded to my Apple Watch (another process that is slow and a nightmare itself), because it always starts playing on my iPhone, no matter what I do.

The same goes with the native music app, I have only downloaded a single playlist on my Apple Watch, which is the one I call running, and if I have only downloaded this playlist, why a have to go through a lot of menus to get into this playlist, which starts playing again on my iPhone like for 20 times, until I turned off my watch and turned it on again, and then i got to play my music through my earphones.

What do you think about playing music through your Apple Watch and what solutions have you found to make it more manageable.

PS: And the training beeps still don’t sound while I’m training and hearing music at the same time, and I only get haptic vibrations on my wrist.

Thanks in advance, as always.
