When you set up your Apple Watch, you get the choice to install all your apps now or later. If you choose Install All, the watch app counterparts for the apps on your iPhone will install.
The watch doesn’t play the audio from the Nike Run app through my AirPods if I’m using Spotify. If I use the Apple Music app, it works normally where the music dims as the Nike app speaks. With Spotify the Nike audio plays directly on the watch speakers. On your iPhone click to open the Apple Watch app. Click the “My Watch” icon then open the “Installed on Apple Watch” heading to see if Spotify is installed. If not scroll down and open the “Available Apps” screen. Here find Spotify and then click “install” to install the app.
After setup, you can install apps directly on your Apple Watch with the built-in App Store in watchOS 6.
watchOS 6 is compatible with Apple Watch Series 1 and later. Upgrading to watchOS 6 requires an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 13 or later.
