Once your Fitbit Versa 2 is connected, open the Fitbit app on your phone. Navigate to the “Settings” section of the app.

Within the “Settings” menu, find the “Music” option and tap on it. You should see a list of supported music streaming services. Select “Spotify” from the list.

Step 5: Authorize Fitbit to Access Your Spotify Account

You’ll be redirected to the Spotify app, where you’ll need to grant Fitbit permission to access your Spotify account. This allows Fitbit to sync your playlists and music to your watch.

Step 6: Select Your Music and Sync to Your Watch

Now, you can choose your favorite playlists, albums, or podcasts to sync to your Fitbit Versa 2. Simply navigate to your desired music within the Spotify app and tap the “Download” button. Your chosen music will then sync to your watch for offline playback.

Step 7: Start Listening to Your Music on Your Watch

Once your music is synced, you can start listening to it directly on your Fitbit Versa 2. Simply open the “Music” app on your watch and select your desired playlist or track.

Beyond the Basics: Tips and Tricks for a Seamless Experience
