Part 2. What Problems Will I Meet with Amazon Music App on Apple Watch?

Now you are able to stream your favorite Amazon music on Apple Watch and leave your iPhone behind. However, you may not be pleased with the streaming experience. There are 2 problems you may encounter with the Amazon Music app on Apple Watch.

1. Poor Music Quality

You may find the music quality from the watch is extremely low and the low bitrate is the main reason.

2. Offline Listening

For offline listening, users still can't download music to the Apple Watch from Amazon Music Unlimited for offline use. Of course, you can choose to play Amazon Music from your iPhone and then control playback on your Apple Watch. However, when there is no Wi-Fi connection, you have to carry your iPhone with you. This is super inconvenient because although you manage to get your iPhone in your pocket, the iPhone will just flap around your waist and cause pain when you are working out.

What's more, as Amazon Music is a streaming music service, music available via an Amazon Prime Music account can be streamed online but is not owned by you. Normal cases are that Amazon Music cannot provide a music file that can be used outside of Amazon's proprietary application. Even if you manage to find the Amazon Music tracks, they are encoded in DRM-ed audio, which is incompatible with watchOS.
