Can Smartwatches Play Spotify?

In my previous post, I answered a common question that many first-time smartwatch buyers have — Can smartwatches play music?

Today, I’m going to answer a related question — Can smartwatches play Spotify?

Yes, smartwatches can play Spotify as long as the device supports installing the app and has an active internet connection via WiFi, cellular, or Bluetooth. In fact, Spotify is now supported on a wide range of smartwatches from various manufacturers such as Samsung, Apple, Garmin, and Fitbit.

With Spotify on your smartwatch, you can listen to your favorite music and podcasts without needing to have your phone with you. 

However, it’s important to note that not all smartwatches have the same level of Spotify integration. 

For example, some watches only allow you to control playback on your phone, while others let you stream music directly from the watch. 

Besides this, smartwatches also have limitations on the number of songs you can download or the amount of storage available for offline listening.

Overall, smartwatches are worth buying if you want to listen to Spotify on the go without carrying your phone. Just make sure to choose a watch that meets your needs and has the level of Spotify integration you’re looking for.

How Can Smartwatches Play Spotify?

There are several ways to play Spotify on a smartwatch. 

The most common method is to download the Spotify app on your smartwatch and connect it to your smartphone. This allows you to control your music from your wrist and listen to your favorite songs without having to take out your phone. 

Many smartwatches also have built-in speakers or the ability to connect to Bluetooth headphones, making it easy to listen to your music on the go.

Another way to play Spotify on a smartwatch is to download music and podcasts directly to your watch. This is especially useful if you don’t want to bring your phone with you during workouts or runs. 

With offline syncing, you can download your favorite playlists and listen to them without an internet connection. Some smartwatches even come with built-in SIM support & 4G/LTE connectivity, which means you can stream music directly from Spotify without needing your phone.

That said, note that not all smartwatches can play Spotify. Some models may not have the necessary hardware or software to support the app. 

So, be sure to check if the smartwatch model you’re planning to purchase is compatible with Spotify.
