Same here. I have a very old Nano for hiking and running. Using a phone is not a replacement for this. Can the Apple Watch be used as player?

Yes, only with bluetooth earphones, 64K stereo only, just a single playlist that's synced with Music on the phone (last time I tried, at least).

Single playlist is not good. Time to buy another Nano 4th gen just in case....

watchOS 4 adds more playlists.
