Garmin announced that it has teamed up with the retail giant to bring Amazon’s music services to Garmin’s smartwatches. It’s a first for Amazon Music.
Amazon Music subscribers with a compatible Garmin smartwatch will be able to download tracks for listening even without their phones. This includes Prime Music, which is bundled with Amazon’s Prime offering and has over 2 million available songs, as well as Amazon’s premium Music Unlimited service, which is a more traditional Spotify or Apple Music alternative with over 50 million songs.
The Amazon Music app is available now in Garmin’s Connect IQ store. You will need to have a Forerunner 245 Music, Forerunner 645 Music, Forerunner 945, Fenix 5 Plus series, Vivoactive 3 Music or MARQ series device to be able to download the free app.
Amazon is not the first service to be available on Garmin watches, however. The company already offers a Spotify app in its store that works with subscribers to Spotify Premium as well as Deezer for those with a Deezer Premium subscription.
