Our brand new Apple Watch app is here!

@Maciej Nowak 

If you want to play music on the watch, you'll need to download tracks first. Then you can use the offline function.

This only works with devices connected via Bluetooth. This means that you first have to select the corresponding device in the watch's Bluetooth settings. You can't find the option within Watch app because it doesn't exist. 

Hello everyone.

Today I dealt with the Apple Watch again and did a download test. The result is very surprising.

The following question needs to be answered:

In which constellation do the downloads to the Apple Watch run fastest?

The following identical experimental setup:

• Newly installed Apple Watch app (Beta 8.47.0.1)
• first playlist 1 with 12 tracks is loaded
• then playlist 2 with 9 tracks will be loaded

Round 1 with iPhone logged in to WLAN:

• Playlist 1 takes 129 seconds
• Playlist 2 takes 96 seconds

Round 2 with iPhone switched to flight mode, before downloading:

• Playlist 1 takes 78 seconds (= 51 seconds less)
• Playlist 2 takes 44 seconds (= 52 seconds less)

Round 3 with Bluetooth disabled on iPhone, before downloading:

• Playlist 1 takes 25 seconds (= 104 seconds less than round 1 = minus 80%)
• I don't need to test playlist 2 anymore… 

Conclusion:

Bluetooth slows down the entire download on the Apple Watch. Awesome. 

Without Bluetooth, you can download the songs in a fifth(!) of the time.

That's impressive, @dee_dirk!! 

Great testing though, maybe you want to create/update a tip thread about this?
