How to Play Audiobooks on Apple Watch without iPhone

But it is a bit more difficult if you want to copy and sync the encrypted audiobooks like iTunes M4A, M4B or Audible AA, AAX audiobooks to Apple Watch, because the protection may prevent it from being copied or synchronized to other unauthorized devices.
