quimby Sep 2022 9:53pm, 13 Sep 2022 5,788 posts	0 quimby Ah, I think the Garmin Connect app got updated on my phone earlier. That might explain it, although why it would change it I cannot fathom.
njosmith Sep 2022 10:55pm, 13 Sep 2022 900 posts	0 njosmith larkim, I think that feature on Spotify is premium only so it may be that the watch app hasn't recognised your premium account?
larkim Sep 2022 6:54am, 14 Sep 2022 18,958 posts	0 larkim I'll have a look at that, but doubt my watch doesn't know about the premium status otherwise I wouldn't be allowed any offline playback at all, would I?
flanker Sep 2022 9:31am, 14 Sep 2022 20,712 posts	0 flanker Correct. You need a subscription to get the offline access (unless it's changed recently, and I can't see Spotify giving it away for free!)
larkim Sep 2022 9:48am, 14 Sep 2022 18,966 posts	0 larkim I've googled around and it seems like a niche issue so likely just something that won't work on my watch as they introduced the feature a while after the watch was launched. Be interesting to see if it works on the newer generation I suppose (255 etc).
chunkywizard Sep 2022 10:27am, 14 Sep 2022 14,835 posts	0 chunkywizard I have a 955 and so could test it if you want. Let me know the podcast and I'll see if it works
larkim Sep 2022 11:33am, 14 Sep 2022 18,967 posts	0 larkim Rob Deering's Running Hour is the podcast. e.g. open.spotify.com Thanks CW, will be interested to see where you get to.
SPR Sep 2022 10:10am, 16 Sep 2022 38,274 posts	0 SPR Garmin customer service is pretty good. Not had a reason to use them before but my 245 broke at the strap connection and they are replacing it. Was going to use my old FR230 while that was sorted but that has stopped connecting to GPS so they're giving me 30% off on a trade in trade up.
