Amazon Music comes to select Garmin music-enabled sports watches
Must-see offer
I was very excited last year when Garmin released its first wearable with offline music streaming support, check out our review of the Garmin Forerunner 645 Music, and since then we have seen it continue to improve the experience with Spotify support and an improved music interface. Today, Garmin becomes the first wearable company to roll out support for Amazon Music.
To use Spotify or Deezer with your Garmin wearable, you need to be a premium subscriber. If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber already, then Amazon Music can be loaded on your Garmin for free. Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers get access to more music, 2 million vs 50 million titles, but I can't complain when I can use Amazon Music for free with my 30-minute to one-hour runs.
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales, stated:
As the first wearable company to offer Amazon Music, we are excited to collaborate with another key music provider to bring even more listening options to customers around the world. Music helps keep us moving during our hardest runs and workouts, and with Amazon Music, there are more than 50 million songs to choose from so you can stay motivated no matter where your training takes you.
