Music streaming platform Spotify has been connecting with wearable OS platforms in recent weeks to debut dedicated apps with an easy way to keep playlists close to users without the need of a phone.

It already had an Android Wear app, but now Spotify has announced its shiny, new Wear OS app. It also announced that it has partnered with Fossil to pre-load the app on Fossil Gen 4 and Michael Kors Access Runway series devices from next month.

The app allows users to choose playlists, control playback and control other devices logged to the same Spotify Premium account through Spotify Connect. However, much unlike the certified Spotify app that Garmin has made for its Connect IQ and Samsung with Tizen OS on its wearables, the Wear OS app still won’t let users download songs to local storage for offline playback. It’s also not clear if cellular smartwatches will be able to stream Spotify content on their own.

We’re excited to introduce a standalone Spotify app for Wear OS by Google smartwatches. This is the first version of the app, and we will continue to improve the Spotify experience.

It was almost a month ago that Spotify announced their intentions to bring Android Wear support to their application in June. With only a few days left in the month, you may have been wondering where said update was. Earlier today, Spotify was updated on the Google Play Store and yes, it finally brings that smartwatch compatibility you’ve been craving.

It’s pretty straight forward, with the card along with album artwork and pause control only popping up on your smartwatch once you’ve started music playback on your phone. Swiping to the left will bring up the music controls (volume, skip/previous tracks). Swiping again will allow you to browse your music library or playlists, as well as play your saved stations of one of Spotify’s curated playlists. While you can dive into an artist or find a specific album, oddly enough selecting a song isn’t possible.

Another weird quirk is there doesn’t appear to be a way to launch the app from your smartwatch — either by voice or an icon in the Android Wear app drawer — so you’ll need to start it up first on your smartphone or tablet. We’re sure another update is already coming down the pipeline that will add this functionality at a later date, but for now, you can grab the update right now from the Google Play Store.
