Why can't I use Spotify free version on my Versa 3?

i hate how you have to have Spotify premium to use it on Fitbit. Why can’t you use Spotify free version, or another music app that is popular or free, like Apple Music or Soundcloud…

Hi @KGatt - you don't need the Spotify Controls on your watch at all so you don't need premium either.

Instead use inbuilt Music Controls [double press the button] to control whatever music you are playing on the phone.

The advantage is you can also adjust the volume and don't have to stop whatever clock or app you are using.

It is a system function like Google Assistant or Quick Settings.
