Spotify’s features with Wear OS
The smartwatch has become particularly popular with athletes and more and more people are using it in their everyday lives. Many apps can be controlled and managed with Wear OS. Spotify can also be controlled via it, so you always have your favorite music right on your wrist.
To use Spotify on your smartwatch, it must support Wear OS, the operating system that is typical for most smartwatches. There is a good selection of smartwatches that are compatible with Wear OS. These include, for example, the Google Pixel Watch 2, the Galaxy Watch 6 or the Xiaomi Watch 2.
You can find out which smartwatches are compatible on the official Wear OS info pageThere you can find out whether your model is included.
What is Wear OS?
Wear OS (Operating System) is an operating system developed by Google specifically for smartwatches and wearables. With Wear OS, you can have your most important smartphone functions right on your wrist with the right smartwatch. The operating system was called “Android Wear” until March 2018.

Once you have registered, you can use the app very easily. With Spotify Connect, you can use your smartwatch to determine which device the music should be played on. This is particularly useful if you want to switch from headphones to speakers.
Spotify’s features with Wear OS
Once you have installed Spotify on your smartwatch and are logged in with your account, you can easily control the music. Since you are using a smartwatch, the options are not quite as sophisticated as on a smartphone, for example. The Spotify Jam feature, for example, cannot be used on your smartwatch.
You can use your smartwatch to start and stop music, change playlists, or even give commands via the Google Assistant. You also have access to your music library and downloaded songs. Some views also show the time.
It is a simplified version of Spotify that works perfectly and is very suitable when you need something quick. Whether you are exercising, at home, or studying. With the Spotify app in Wear OS, you can easily change the music and quickly concentrate on the more important things again.
