Audiobook support on Garmin devices with Spotify capability

My Garmin 255 Music has Spotify support. It syncs playlists and podcasts no problem. However, when I try to sync an audiobook, it returns a "media error occured" error. It would be great if audiobook functionality were supported.

I have a Garmin Fenix 7pro and Spotify premium. I expected to be able to use these to listen to audio books on a long run as I don't really like to take my phone with me. Please implement this as it would be a factor in whether I continue to subscribe.

Integrate audiobooks capabilities into the Garmin watches Spotify app.

Music capabilities are great, storage capacity for podcasts- amazing, surely allowing purchased and downloaded audiobooks is the logical and practical next step?

(I’m dumbfounded this hasn’t been done or enabled already)

Same for Garmin 945.

You can sync music, but not Audiobooks, which seems strange. 

Even if you add the Audiobooks to a new playlist, it doesn't sync all the chapters. 

Please support this.

Just bought a forerunner 965 as I wanted a fitness tracking watch with spotify support, so that I can leave my phone behind and still enjoy music, audiobooks and podcasts saved on my spotify account while running.

My watch only plays the first chapter of each audiobook, which was very frustrating to discover mid-way through a long run!

I was kind of depending on this feature to help keep me motivated and stave off the boredom of marathon training...

I understand there are fiddly (and potentially illegal) workarounds, which proves it is doable - so surely the devs at spotify can rustle up an update to make this simple change?

Thanks!
