Can the Apple Watch Series 10 play music through its speaker?

Question

Can music be played through the Apple Watch Series 10 without any headphones directly?

Answer 1

Absolutely yes, the Apple Watch Series 10 can play music through the integrated speaker. This comes in handy for those times when you may forget your earphones during a stroll or while jogging. The speaker may be used with first-party apps such as Podcasts, Apple Music, and Audiobooks, and several third-party applications including Spotify are supported as well.

we live in a world where people walk around blasting portable bluetooth speakers, and we're concerned with people distracting others from that little watch speaker?  I wish that was the worst distraction of my commute

I was able to play audio through the speaker on the Series 1. Why did they take it away? I can't even play audio through the Ultra Series 1. Ugh. Frustrating. There is no reason for this limitation.

Great review! I'm so excited for mine. I'm not excited for more people to take advantage of the external speakers by listening to their music/podcasts/books without earbuds. That's the world we live in now.

You have to admit the sound quality on the call was pretty poor.

Does anyone know if the music can be played in the background of other apps? Like fitness tracker? I’ve only used garmin but having a music playable speaker sounds amazing so I might switch but if I can’t use the music while having fitness tracker open then I won’t switch. Thanks
