Can You Download Music To Wear The OS?
Yes, if your Music App comes with offline mode, you can download music to the smartwatch and listen to it offline. However, it’s important to note here that only a handful of music apps currently have an offline mode for Wear OS Smartwatches.
Wear OS enables a number of advanced smart functions from a wrist-based device. Music will only be downloaded to the device if that music app supports offline playback.
Spotify and youtube music is one of them that supports this system. Many users prefer these two apps for listening to music on their wear OS device because only a few of the music apps come with offline mode for wear os smartwatches.

YouTube music seems now available to Wear OS 3 users. Previously, it had a major problem: it could not stream music. Now that has finally been fixed.
YouTube Music is now rolling out an update to the Wear OS app that introduces the ability to stream music if your watch is connected to a Wi-Fi network. The feature also works over LTE, if your watch has its own cellular connection.
That means you can now browse for any music and start playing it immediately from the watch. The new feature might not seem too important, but it is another step towards Google improving smaller problems with Wear OS.
Can The OS Play Spotify Offline?

Apple Music is not available for Wear OS users for now. As Wear OS is the competitor to Apple Watch’s Watch OS, there are great chances that Apple won’t bring it for Wear OS users.
