Anyone else having Spotify sync problems?

So far I've only managed to get spotify to sync once....then that broke. Finally I got it uninstalled and and reinstalled, but now every single time I try to sync a playlist, i get the message that my watch is busy and I need to go back to the home (watch) screen, which I'm already on.

I've restarted, reset, plugged in, forgotten wifi networks and reconnected....this was a major reason I got this watch and I'm a bit peeved I don't seem to be able to do anything to get it to work. ANyone else had this problem and found a resolution?

Yes, i've been in touch with Garmin and it seems to be known issue. They hope to fix it in a future SW update.

This is not the same defect. It's not about WiFi, it's about being able to set the app up on the watch.
I can't even get to the point of providing a user/pass to the account.

I have been able to set up the app with my username/pw and get the watch on the wifi to do that. My issue is only with being able to actually use spotify. Everytime I click to manage music, I get a message telling me my watch is busy to go back to the home screen, which i'm already on. It very well could be related to the internet issues.

I got it working but I don't know if this was actually what fixed it.

Press the 'B' button (bottom) and you'll get a menu that has a gear at the bottom.
In that tree is a 'Music' -> 'Music Providers' -> 'Spotify'.

When I selected that and went back to my (Android) phone, it was prompting me for user/pass.
I'm not 20% complete syncing my first playlist.

It's a horrible process that's completely undocumented, but it just might be THE process

Oh my gosh you're right! I thought my Spotify account had been verified and I was getting a totally different message but now it's syncing! Thanks for saving my sanity!

Hi Guys, a lot of people are experiencing error 0200 on syncing using Spotify. (See other thread) I have a strong feeling that's due to the watch or spotify not supporting all wifi security protocols. May I ask which wifi protocol and version you're using?
