How To Watch YouTube On Apple Watch?
Watching YouTube on Apple Watch is pretty simple just install the WatchTube app on your Apple Watch. You can install it from App Store either using your Apple Watch or iPhone. Once installed the app is pretty simple to use.

Requirement To Use & Listen To YouTube On Apple Watch
This app requires that you are running Apple Watch OS 6 or above. Your Apple Watch 7, 8, or Ultra also needs to be connected to your phone or WiFi so that you can watch YouTube on it. If your Apple Watch is a cellular variant then you can watch without connecting it to the WiFi as well.
WatchTube App Review
WatchTube is a pretty decent app to play YouTube videos on the Apple Watch series regardless of whether it’s Ultra, Series 6, 7, or 8.
It allows you to watch the latest trending videos, look for channels, & subscribe to channels. However, there are some limitations as well like you cannot log in with your Google account. So your ‘watch it later’ list, liked video, channel subscription, & playlist won’t be synced.
Similarly, the watch supports on-screen caption but it’s not readable on the already small display of the Apple Watch SE 2 that I used the watch with. I have also made a detailed video explaining how to watch YouTube on Apple Watch on my channel Wearholic. You can watch the video below if you still have any doubts.
