Next, select the device from the Devices list . In the settings for your specific device, tap Apps.

You may already have Spotify installed (check the My Apps section). If not, switch to the All Apps tab and find Spotify by browsing or searching for it.

Click Install on the Spotify app page, then wait for the process to complete. You must then approve the permissions so that the application can run properly. Select Permissions on this page to check if needed.

How to use Spotify on Fitbit

To open Spotify on Fitbit, please 'wake up' the clock and swipe from right to left on the home screen to display the apps. Select Spotify from the list and you will see a Connecting screen while it looks for compatible devices.

To connect properly, you will need music playing on another device connected to your Spotify account. This could be a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or even a Bluetooth speaker that supports Spotify Connect.

After a few moments, you'll see information about the music playing on your watch. Use the controls to play / pause, change tracks, switch to random playback, and add songs to the library.

If you want to start playing something new, swipe from left to right. You will see a few lists of artists, music and albums recently played for easy access. If not, tap Library and you can access all of your playlists, Spotify's 'Made for You' content, as well as a list of Spotify workouts to keep you healthy.

Change the device used to play music

The Spotify Connect button in the upper left corner allows you to change which device is playing music. For best results, you should play music through a phone that is connected to Fitbit.

When controlling music playback on a desktop computer, the Fitbit app only displays the Play / Pause button and the Connect button . To view song information and the rest of the control features, you must switch to playing music on your phone.
