For that, you have to resort to our good friendand not at all craptastic assistantSiri.
It appears users will get a notification reading, Want to stream on your Apple Watch?
You then have the option of tapping the phone icon in the lower right to pick the Apple Watch.
Most third-party music apps on the watch are essentially remote controls.

Spotify was notably not one of the highlighted third parties, but with this beta, who knows?
Maybe itll happen at long last.
