I Meet the Requirements. What Do I Do Next?
The three steps listed below need to be completed when first setting up the Spotify app with your watch. Once complete, you will only need to follow the third step when you want to load additional content to your watch. Select each section to expand and view instructions on completing each step:
Hold UP/MENU (middle-left button) to access the menu.
Scroll to or select Settings.
Scroll down and select Music.
Select Music Providers.
Select Spotify.
You will now be prompted to open the Garmin Connect app on your phone.

Return to your watch and select Get Started.
Choose the option to Add music & podcasts.
The watch must be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network to download content from Spotify. Content available to sync to the watch will be listed under Your Library from your Spotify account. This includes:
Playlists: Saved or created playlists
Recently Played: A list of tracks that you have recently played
Made for you: New Music and Daily Mixes based on your listening habits
Podcasts: Saved podcasts
To select this content to sync to your watch:
On the watch, hold the MENU (middle-left button) button.
Select or scroll to Settings.
Select Music.
Select Music Providers.
Select Spotify.
Select Add Music & Podcasts.
If you need to update playlists you've previously downloaded, you can select Update Downloads instead.
Select a category, then select the content you want to sync to your watch.
At this point, the watch will attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network to sync music. Syncing music will require a lot of battery power, so we recommend plugging the watch into a charger near the Wi-Fi router for the best results.
