How to Play Apple Music on Garmin Watch

Trying to pick out a smartwatch with Apple Music compatibility is really one big headache for Apple Music members. By far Apple Watch is the best fit and the only choice that has the power to play Apple Music songs directly from the wrist without your phone nearby. But what if you only have a Garmin Watch?

While quite a few Garmin watches now offer onboard music capability, none of them supports Apple Music (only purchased Apple Music songs are supported on Garmin music watches). So, if you are an Apple Music subscriber, you're unfortunately unable to stream Apple Music streaming songs on Garmin watch without bringing your phone along. However, it's totally a different story if you have NoteBurner Apple Music Converter and the correct way of moving unprotected Apple Music songs to Garmin watch.
