Music Control Widget Features on Garmin Fitness Watches

Several Garmin watches feature a music control widget allowing the user to control the media player on a smartphone that is paired to the Garmin device through the Garmin Connect app. This widget allows you to play, pause, and skip to the next or previous track allowing you to control the media player on the phone. Additional features such as volume control, shuffle, and repeat are available on select Garmin devices. The music control widget controls the last used media player* on the smartphone for both iPhone and Android smartphones. This is a separate feature from the watches that allow you to load music directly onto the device.

To learn more about the music control widget please refer to your Owner's Manual.

*NOTE: The Approach x40, Forerunner 35, Forerunner 45/45S, Garmin Swim 2, and vivosmart HR+ will only control the native music player on iOS devices.
