Garmin announced today that their flagship product range the fenix 5 Plus watches (all sizes) would now be supporting Spotify. Spotify tracker app. It's downloadable as a separate app (just like Deezer and iHeartRadio) from Garmin Connect IQ Store. It’s available in Australia now.

IQ is an AppStore for widgets, watch faces, and data fields. Connect is the app on the phone that the watch syncs to. I have not missed a single thing in the IQ store. I’m actually glad they didn’t include that feature as I found it distracting and only really used the watch-faces on other watches.

You can find the app under the ‘Music’ menu of your watch, or if it’s not there, you will need to specify your music source as Spotify. When you first try to open the app on the watch, it will tell you to load up Garmin Connect so that it can authorise and log you on the watch into your Spotify account.

Once you’ve authorised the account, that’s it, you’re ready to run and listen to your sweet power ballad playlists or podcasts.

At this point in time, only the fenix 5 Plus models are supported. The reasons behind this haven’t been made very clear by Garmin, but from closer inspection, it’s not due to limitations by the hardware. It does appear that the other Garmin watch series’ need to be individually certified or approved by Spotify before the app can be supported on those devices.
