Music

NOTICE

There is a 7-day limit on the license for offline music downloaded to your watch. We recommend reconnecting your watch to the internet every 7 days to renew your license so that you can continue to make use of third-party offline music services.

The copyright of music provided by third-party music services are owned by the record companies. The record companies license the music tracks or albums to third-party music services with a time limit, and the music license must be periodically updated and renewed. If you often listen to downloaded music offline, you will need to reconnect your watch to the internet every 7 days (via Wi-Fi or Garmin Connect Mobile) so that you can continue to make use of third-party offline music services.

NOTE: This section is about three different music playback options.

  • Third-party provider music
  • Personal audio content
  • Music stored on your phone

On a Forerunner 245 Music device, you can download audio content to your device from your computer or from a third-party provider, so you can listen when your smartphone is not nearby. To listen to audio content stored on your device, you must connect headphones with Bluetooth technology.

You can also control music playback on your paired smartphone using your device.
