Spotify songs on the Gear Sport watch?

[Scuderia]

So here's my problem. I have the Samsung Gear Sport watch. My main reason for getting it was to be able to listen to songs without my phone or Wi-Fi (like when I'm running). 

So I got myself a premium spotify membership so I could download songs. I downloaded a few to my Note 8. But obviously they downloaded to my phone in the spotify app. So, I have the songs on my phone to listen to without Wi-Fi, but when I open spotify on my watch the only way it can play them from there is by blu-tooth connection to my phone.

I went into the Gear Sport app on my phone and checked under the "transfer content to gear" tab. No songs show up. And I cannot find them on my phone in there cause I guess they are still "in" spotify. 

Basically I cannot listen to the songs from just my watch to my blutooth headphones and i need my phone or Wi-Fi available. 

Help please. I'm hoping I'm just being an idiot and it's simple. But it' very frustrating because I feel like this should be soooo easy. What am I doing wrong? I just want the darn songs on my watch!! Thanks.

Hello @Scuderia

I don't own a Gear watch but there should be a download toggle when you open your playlists. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_1ojFYmJG8. There seems to be one usefull comment there:

The way I've got this is that you have to connect your gear S3 to a Wi-Fi network and turn off the smartphone used to pair your S3. Once you're connected, access the Spotify app on your S3 then go to Settings and choose "Stream on wifi" under Playback. You'll be prompted to enter your Spotify credentials (username and password). From this point, you can follow the instructions on the video.

This right.  Be sure to be connected to wifi with your gear sport and then login to spotify on the watch and pick the playlist to download.
