Control music from your Apple Watch with Siri
Quick answer
"Play," "pause," or "next track" spoken to your Apple Watch controls whatever audio is going, including music on your iPhone, HomePod, or AirPlay speakers. Ask "play my workout playlist" to start something specific. Great for changing the music mid-run without breaking stride.

“Next track”

If Siri doesn't get it
If controls hit the wrong device, name the room or speaker. The Watch needs to be connected to your iPhone or Wi-Fi for remote control to work.
