However, a running playlist you've already created can be accessed in a second.
You definitely need to be embedded in the Apple Music system for this to work well - you can't browse playlists on the wrist, for example, and just asking Siri to 'Play some running music' results in some odd choices.
How streaming music on the Apple Watch 3 made me listen to opera by a lake.It's not perfect - especially when outside and walking or running - but when it works it's a dream, a futuristic scenario where you command almost any song in the world via a chat with your wrist. The easiest way is to ask Siri on the go to play the kind of music you want - whether that's by genre, a playlist you've already created but not synchronized, or just a certain song. These are both accessed the most simply through Siri - you can tap through the Watch to get there, but it's very fiddly. You're getting two things with the new Apple Music streaming capabilities: Apple Music directly, and Beats Radio. This feature - if you've paid all the money to have the LTE-enabled variant of the Watch 3 and are paying out extra cash each month to have the data - is actually quite a good addition. One other upgrade is the addition of music streaming, something that was announced at launch of the Apple Watch 3 but curiously wasn't there at launch. If adding data to the Watch was free and just naturally extended to the wrist, it would be fine, but the added cost makes it hard to recommend the LTE version for this reason. It’s particularly galling that you need to spend between $5-$10 / £5 / AED 25 per month to have your data - that you’re already paying for - pumped to your device. We would question whether you really need the functionality – not least because you have to pay extra for it.
It's less useful when driving - the ambient noise makes it harder to hear what's being said - but it'll do in a pinch and save you from illegally grabbing your phone. In fact, it was so loud you’ll need to move quickly to stop people listening in. It meant we could run pretty much normally and still hold a conversation without having to hold the Watch 3 to our head. The call quality from such a small device is really rather impressive – we conducted a phone chat with someone while running, and both the voice quality out of the speaker and the sensitivity of the microphone were excellent. You can disable LTE from the Control Center
