Read on to learn how to add Now Playing to your watch face.
Adding Now Playing to Your Watch Face

Note that this is not a comprehensive list.
To customize your watch face with Now Playing to enable music control on your watch face, add it as a complication. To do that, tap and hold on the watch face display and click on Edit.
