How can I set up a music playlist on my new Apple Watch SE

On "how to play music on my Apple Watch, it says go to the watch app on your phone, select my watch, and scroll down to "music". There is no "music" on my app. How can I set up a playlist? Thanks in advance.

You either need to have personal music (maybe from CD's, or purchased from iTunes or other music service that allows downloading your music) on your iPhone, or you need to subscribe to a music service, such as

  • Apple Music
  • Pandora
  • Spotify
  • etc...

If using a 3rd party music service, check their website for instructions
