Thanks for reaching out Mclarke1,


It sounds like you want your son to be able to use his Apple Watch without a paired iPhone. We can help.


Let's first start by making sure you have been able to Set up Apple Watch for a family member. These steps may have been completed with Verizon if you purchased the Apple Watch through them. Once we've confirmed the Apple Watch has been set up, then you can check out these steps to Play music on Apple Watch.


Hope that helps.


Take care.

If the Apple Watch SE version is not a cellular network model then your son can only stream music when connected to a Wi-Fi network. For your son to stream music all the time the Watch it must be connected to cellular data.

Yes but he needs an iphone to set it up first, either his own iphone or paired to a family member's iphone as described by AdvisorMP
