In our technology-driven life, it is music that has remained constant, never mind the place. It could be an uber lab, or a work place, even a high-designed gym where 1 may be pumping iron real hard, but all this while using hands to change music tracks. Furthermore, lugging a smartphone that is only increasing in size can be quite restrictive at times. Which is why, Spotify is launching a new Spotify app for smartwatches on Wear OS by Google to help you explore hands-free scenarios, it announced on its blog recently.
This new app, Spotify claims, takes the load off your hands & plonks it on your wrist. Now, with “unrestricted” hands, you are free to delve into your routine; be it your routine jog, shopping non-stop, running marathons, meet people, all this while connected to your music that you can control all the time.
To expand its user base, Spotify has also partnered with Fossil Group to introduce the ‘Spotify experience’. The app will be auto-installed on all Fossil Gen 4 Smartwatches & Michael Kors Access Runway Smartwatches starting from November.
We’re excited to bring improved on-the-go-access to your favorite music and podcasts to millions of Spotify users on Wear OS by Google smartwatches
Mikael Ericsson, Senior Product Director at Spotify, said, adding,
Being able to easily access, control, & connect music directly from your wrist opens up a world of new opportunities.
With Spotify on your Wear OS by Google smartwatch, you may get more control. As a consequence of which, you may no longer need to stop in your tracks & pull out the phone from your armband to generate your Discover Weekly playlist. The app will switch to your favorite music or podcasts at the flick of your wrist. Also, you may rewind 15 seconds to listen to the podcasting bit you missed while you’re walking.
In addition, you may connect your speakers or home devices through Spotify Connect to play songs from your watch without to listen to music from any corner of your house.
Moreover, with the latest integration makes it effortless to access your recently played music even when your smartphone is lodged in your pocket. Taken a liking to a new track? You may tap the ‘heart’ ♡ icon on the screen of your watch to add it to your compilation.
To make the most of this experience, you need to get the latest version of Spotify on Wear OS on Google Play. The app will be introduced on the smartwatches on Wear OS by Google over the coming week. Also, more features & updates will be rolled out soon.
