Can anyone comment on the usage of Apple Watch Series 10 if one wants to use it as a wrist based iPod Shuffle with my AirPods and 8-16GB of locally stored (on the Watch) music files?

Last time I tried this (with an S7) it was strangely difficult to get the music onto the watch, the storage was really hamstrung by the OS and it wanted to do the syncing "automatically" ... which of course was super flaky and uninspiring as I wasn't really sure how to know if it had happened correctly or fully

Is any of that better now on AW 10 and latest WatchOS?

All the music is in Apple Music (on my Mac) locally -- no streaming, no Apple Music subscription (if any of that matters)

Thank you 🙏
