Spotify is rolling out a new app for smartwatches on Wear OS by Google leaving you free to run, dance, shop, socialize and control your music at the same time. The streamer has partnered with Fossil Group to bring the Spotify experience in a standalone app for Wear OS by Google smartwatches to even more users. Starting in November, Spotify will be auto-installed on all Fossil Gen 4 Smartwatches and Michael Kors Access Runway Smartwatches.
“We’re excited to bring improved on-the-go-access to your favorite music and podcasts to millions of Spotify users on Wear OS by Google smartwatches,” says Mikael Ericsson, Senior Product Director at Spotify. “Being able to easily access, control, and connect music directly from your wrist opens up a world of new opportunities. We look forward to continuing to improve the Spotify experience in this space.”
This new experience will be rolling out to users with smartwatches on Wear OS by Google. The latest version of Spotify on Wear OS can be downloaded here.
In addition to being able to control playlists, pause or skip to the next track while jogging or exercising the app can connect to speakers or other home devices through Spotify Connect.
The new integration also makes it easier to access to your recently played songs, even with your phone in your pocket. Plus, if you find a new favourite track while on the go, just tap the ♡ icon on your watch screen to save it to your collection.
