Are u able to advise - Pandora will not play on my Apple Watch when separated from my iPhone. Everything works wonderful on my watch except when I want to play Pandora. Example, I go for a walk without my phone, only my watch. I can make calls, text, play other music apps but Pandora will not play. I have Verizon as my carrier. I have talked to Verizon and Apple. They said everything is fine on their end and I should contact Pandora instead. Can u help with this? I hate to have to give up Pandora

Great question, @S2846. It would be as if you were listening to the app normally.
You should see a list of options including "Downloads". From that section, you can listen to downloaded music in offline mode.
Let me know if this helps. 🎧
Hey there, @S2846. 👋
Thanks for your patience over the holiday weekend.
If you'd like to select whether to stream directly from your Apple Smart Watch or your mobile device using an Apple Watch series 3 or newer* please use the following steps:
*Apple Watch Series 1 and 2 are not currently supported. Cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity is required to stream independently of a mobile device.*

Could you share a bit more about how you're listening and your experience?
Something to note: First, you'll need to keep your offline content downloaded on your iPhone within the Pandora app. If your offline content is removed from the Pandora app on your phone, it will be automatically removed from your Apple Watch.
Let me know. 🎧
When I switch from iPhone to Apple Watch, using the method you just suggested, the music does now play when I am separated from my phone. That problem is solved, thank you.
But- * is that music live streaming or is it downloaded? I don’t want to listen to downloaded music on my watch. I want to listen to live just like on my phone.
