Battery life on Garmin’s is genuinely terrible as soon as you have music running though. Less than the apple watch.
The plot thickens. Frankly even if it did get music right it would be tough to replace streaming my own Plex music library directly on my Apple watch. 100% worth paying for cellular.
The interface is terrible I've never actually remember to use spotify like this on my garmins and I've worn like 4 over the last decade. Maybe if you use it for a week straight it'll be muscle memory, but I only accidentally play music on it.
It can download and sync playlists and you connect bt headphones to it.
