I am curious... what would be the benefit of offline music in a watch? AFAIK you can play downloaded songs in the smartphone with Spotify while offline

You could go for a run with just your watch and a pair of bluetooth headphones...

The Series 3 with LTE is even better for runners than the Series 2 offers.

Many stores and vending machines accept Apple Pay if emergency food/water/medicine is required on the run. You can also make phone calls or hail an uber/lyft in case you twist your ankle or another a different minor injury while running.

The combination of offline music on the Apple Watch plus AirPods is the first thing that's improved on the experience of the clip-on iPod Shuffle and headphones. Despite some UI lag issues it's basically running nirvana.

You can listen to music while you exercise without having to take your phone.

As all of the other posters mentioned - it's exercising without carrying around a phone.
