Is the Fenix 5x capable of getting Spotify music on it in the future?

I just bought the Fenix 5x and really don't care about music files being loaded on my watch but would really like to get Spotify! I was wondering if anyone knows if the 5x have the capability in the future to get an update for streaming music? It would be nice but not worth the extra money for the plus!

I don't think the hardware can do it (play bluetooth audio I mean)

Sad but true

soy mas optimista ya que el D2, charlie quatix y fenix 3 y fenix 5x y fenix 5plus tienen semejanza en caracteristicas de hardware, salvo fenix 5x, fenix 5plus y D2 tienen la misma capacidad de GB y hace poco compatibilizaron spotify para D2, siendo que D2 y fenix5plus se diferencian solo por saturación de oxigeno, pero la diferencia esta en ciclismo que solo alcanza a vector 2, y 2s, pero no vector3, 3s, que si lo tiene fenix 5, 5s y 5x. entonces sigue siendo absurdo que fenix 5x no tenga acceso a spotify, porque ant+ es compatible con bluetooth smart.

DCR mentioned this when the 645m was introduced, and on top of a few other things, the f5x lacks the needed BT chipset to work with headphones.
