This, if you don’t want to use Google Play.
Update: Using adb to upload and remove music files from the watch in combination with: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&rdid=qubin.de.wearmedia
works great!
I'll create a post with instructions in a few min.
I use WearMedia all the time, and it works well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Google Play Music syncing drove me nuts and this was the best solution I could find.
I think you need to use NavExplorer to send the songs to your watch and the other app to play them.
I personally use Wear Media, I have not had much luck with any other music app for WearOS.
I think there's an app on Google play for doing this, obviously it's more complicated than just drag and drop from PC but without an USB i don't know how you could perform that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Pick your poison:
- Use Feel the Wear and pay for premium to unlock the ability to add sounds to your notifications, then upload a ringtone to FtW and set it to the "phone call" global event.
Or
- Get ~~Wear Media~~ Music Player for Wear and it can copy over ringtones to the watch.
Just make sure you reboot after you transfer it so the watch will recognize the file.
Edit: I recommend going with Feel the Wear personally. But the other way works and is free.
Why would you wan't to pick your wifi manually? Can you connect to both networks normally?
Yes, for example you could use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
You can sideload to AW like any other android device See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/how-to-sideload-apks-android-wear-watch-t3726276
I use Wear Media to listen to music directly from the watch to bluetooth headphones.
It's a lot simpler than google play, which I could never manage to get working properly - there were too many convoluted steps.
Check out WearMedia (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&hl=en), but I'm with /u/Protonus that it will kill the battery quickly. But if you want two devices instead of three, it's worth a shot before you buy a cheap MP3 player.
Very good Review, About bug 4 maybe it could work with spotify, can you try with just the Spotify app installed and see what happens, also try with the WearMedia app.

There is a plain mp3 player though I think. I don't recall whether the watch exposes MTP when you connect it to a PC, but you can at any rate use adb push to push a file or and entire folder to the internal /sdcard
All you need to have for that is adb and the adb drivers installed.
One of the options that seems to be useful:

This one comes with an entire sync capability (mp3 from your phone to the watch, and getting mp3 on your phone is always easy, right?). It even describes what you say as a hse case:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turndapage.navmusic
Yeah that setting doesn't work most of the time for me but I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&hl=en
It shows free storage on device and you can copy your music and pictures if you want to use that. It is really annoying that so many features are missing from Wear OS and we need to use 3rd party apps for them.
There is an app called Music Player for Wear that lets you play MP3s you put on the watch's storage. Used this on a river tubing trip with a BT speaker it works great, so I figure it would be good for working out too.

Use the phone companion app to move files to the watch.
Note: you swipe left when it opens on the watch if you want to access file browser.
Otherwise you could use ADB to push the files to the watch, but then you need a computer.
On android wear, I use "WearMedia". I have to manually copy the files to the watch, but once copied I can play them on the watch itself or on paired headphones.
Here is a link:

> Can I prevent the watch from providing controls for whatever is playing on my phone?
If the phone app announces to the OS that it's a media app, to allow system-wide media controls, you'll get the controls on the watch. Short of a rooted watch or phone solution, you'll have to use an app on the phone that doesn't use media controls. Wear media does the trick.
Like I said, Wear Media Player is folder aware. And it also has a good sync tool, so there's no need for transfer by cable.
Wasted some much time trying to get music on the phone. I was on the verge of factory reset and Wear 1.5.
This app sideloads though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&hl=en
Google screwed us on this one.
Alternative: Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&hl=en
Simply export (not sure if that's possible with bought stuff from Play Music tho since I don't use it) all your tracks and upload it onto the watch itself with the above mentioned app, then you can use it completely standalone without needing a phone.
For this on my Zenwatch 2 I use WearMedia
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Works pretty good (and solved my problem of Google Play Music not synching songs from my external SD card)
Ah, I had the same issue, also have my files on my phone SD card.
However, in the meantime I have found another music player that works wonders for me, it's called WearMedia https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
I actually really like it now
I don't know of any app that can stream to the watch. I use this to transfer music to the watch, you can also change the ringtone with this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
I use WearMedia.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
I use Wear Media. It's slow to transfer over Bluetooth but you can also use wifi. It has a player on the watch also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
All these roughly fit your requirements, I believe:
Music Player for Wear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Music Center https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matejdro.wearmusiccenter
Google Play Music https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
I believe this app should satisfy your need: Music Player for Wear
If you don't want to pay money for the music player you can also use "Music Player For Wear"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Perhaps try this.
Music Player for Wear supports podcasts stored on watch.
Scrap it and use wear media
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Thank you! I'll try it out.

Have you tried this music player? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia&hl=en_US&gl=US
Have you tried this music player? It seems to support Playlist and media transfer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia

I had used this app. It worked to transfer and play music files on watch. But UI isn't the best.
This apps pictures suggest it does show time details:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
I have used this app with success in the past.
It uses bluetooth to transfer so it's slow but works
I used this app to transfer mp3 files from my phone to my watch; and play them with the same music player.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
I use Wear media, works fine for local music files. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Wear Music Player can transfer photos too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Wearmedia. Works great
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Actually it does & a lot of apps on play store do that such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia you just put your mp3 in the ringtone folder on watch, restart watch and ready to go
