Hi, So, after playing with this for a while, I've determined that the process is not particularly accessible, nor intuitive, but doable with VO. Yes, the devices do show up on your Apple Watch, but when you double-tap them prior to proper pairing, the Remote app on the Watch is unresponsive. This is what I had to do,
1. Open the Music app on my Mac. 2. In the Sidebar, select my Apple Watch. Note, if you don't see it there right away, go into the Remote app on your Watch, then double-tap the Add button. A four digit code will be displayed and available for you to enter on the Mac. 3. Again, make sure that the Apple Watch is selected in the Sidebar in the Devices section. 4. Press shift tab and VO probably won't announce anything, but I believe that it is focused on the proper fields. 5. Enter the four digit PIN needed to pair the Watch. If it pairs properly, the Music app will do something, not sure exactly what, but then your Watch should update its screen and announce that the volume is at 100% instead of 0%. If that happens, you're now good to use the Remote app on your Apple Watch to control the Music app on your Mac. If it does not work, make sure that your Apple Watch is selected in the Sidebar, then pressing tab more times and each time that you land on something where VO doesn't announce anything, try entering the four digit PIN from the Apple Watch. Sooner or later it should take. Thanks for bringing this up, it was a fun challenge, and now I know something new. Later...

It should just show up. I will confirm later with my MBP. My MacPro is older and does not always handle these newer features and that is the computer I have access to right now.
