Hi

No, you cannot play Spotify on Apple Watch without the phone.

The Spotify app on the Apple Watch works as a remote control for the Spotify app on your iPhone. This means that you need to have your iPhone nearby with an active internet connection to use Spotify on your Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch does not have the ability to stream music on its own, so it relies on the iPhone for connectivity and playback.

If you want to listen to music on your Apple Watch without your iPhone, you can use the built-in Apple Music app or download music to your Apple Watch for offline playback.
