The Venu Sq 2 series smartwatches are not compatible with the Spotify Connect IQ app on Garmin smartwatches.
To use Spotify with Garmin smartwatches, you need to:
- Download the Spotify app from the Connect IQ store on your smartwatch
- You need premium subscription to the Spotify app.
Once you download the Spotify app, you can sync your playlists from the Spotify website to the Garmin smartwatch.
The Connect IQ app for Spotify on your Garmin watch is tied to your Spotify Premium account. When your watch connects to Wi-Fi, it will sync with Spotify allowing you to select your saved playlists to download.
The playlists will reside on the smartwatch until the Spotify premium subscription is active.
You can listen to the downloaded music content through the Garmin smartwatch directly. You could use a Bluetooth speaker to stream the music.
If your subscription is not renewed, all playlists will be automatically removed from the Garmin smartwatch.
The number of songs you download to the Garmin smartwatch would depend upon the device storage of the smartwatch.
