If Downloading Music for the First Time:

  1. On the watch access the Music Controls (press and hold DOWN).

  2. Select Add music & podcasts.

  3. Choose a category then choose the content you want to sync to your watch.

If You Have Already Downloaded Music on the Watch:

  2. Press Three vertical white dots in a black box.

  3. Select Library icon two vertical lines to the left of a diagonal line in a black box.

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.
