You need Bluetooth headphones or speakers to listen to music or other audio on your Apple Watch.  I suspect you would be very disappointed with the sound quality of music from the watch's speaker. For more info, see:

Even if it was possible to listen to music from the teeny tiny speaker on Apple Watch (it's not possible, by the way), it would sound absolutely, positively horrible. The speaker is simply too tiny to provide sonic qualities which can play music with any realism. You will have to use Bluetooth speakers/headphones if you want to listen to music on your watch.
