Spotify app for Samsung Gear Fit 2

[1Life]

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 was released 2 weeks ago. All reviews said/showed that it would contain a native spotify app. I´m trying to find that app - but no luck!

Can it be that Spotify only releases it into the US samsung Galaxy apps store? I live in Europe and that might explain it. I wodner if anyone can confirm that this is the case!?

Finally! All though suffering from stutters/pauses myself, both offline playback and online streaming with premium. Combined with Bose sportsound wireless.

Built in music player is pretty smooth. So let's hope it's just software.
Else they should just simplify it to suit the device

Disregard original reply. I saw addtional comments in thread.

I have the gear fit 2.

It does have download in and offline capabilities but stutters badly .
Streaming service also stutters. Remote function works ok, but can
definitely notice load lag

Spotify will show up on my Fit 2 Pro but I still have to have my phone in Bluetooth range.  I don't have the option to download the playlists to use spotify directly from the watch...  Am I missing something here?

You have to be a Spotify premium subscriber to download your playlists. 

[Nick_Lombard]

For streaming to work your watch needs to have wifi on and connected.

Once you've downloaded songs you can select offline mode on watch in the
settings menu

[Bighornranch]

Thanks for the response. I am a Premium subscriber but on my Fit 2 Pro, I
do not have the download playlist option. .??

[Nick_Lombard]

Go to settings and select stream. That basically switches it to watch
mode. Once you're there , you can force watch to ignore wifi by selecting
offline music after you've downloaded a few tracks

Voila

Is there a way to use Spotify on the Gear Fit 2 Pro without having premium? (Just streaming via WiFi)

Did a update a couple of days ago  & the Spotify app works much better now. No stuttering when playing tracks that have been downloaded to my Gear Fit2. Had an issue that playback stopped a couple of times, but apart from that the playback was smooth. Also got myself a Gear S3 Classic as well and the Spotify app  works fine on that.

All good so far.

Cool! Is there a recent update available for the Spotify app or the Samsung
gear fit?

[Monir_azzouzi]

I can't login at all.  It keeps saying "login failed".

Any idea what the reason could be?

[Nick_Lombard]

Good to know. I haven't seen any updates in nz yet..

What version are you running now ?

I'm on ver. 1.1.24

[dzebas]

Was this Spotify app update or watch firmware update? From what I understand some countries got new firmware (not in Australia yet) and it also allegedly fixed HR monitor issues while excersizing, so fingers crossed!

[Nick_Lombard]

Make sure watch connected to WiFi? Are you premium user ? Is it connected
to phone ? Has phone internet access ?

[Tfave]

It was a firmware update

Software version it's says is

R360XXU1DQ12 if this is any help.

Still have a problem at times when it locks up Spotify app on the watch, but when it works it works well

[Enriquevc]

The software version I have is R360XXU1DQE6,

this means that I don't have the update yet?? or is the software different in each country?...I'm in Mexico

[Enriquevc]

I have the same version in the Samsung Gear Apps (version 1.1.24) but in the watch the version is 1.0.

Does anyone know why this difference?
