Spotify podcasts not working

After the latest FW update I haven't been able to sync any podcasts on the watches Spotify app. It gives "Bluetooth failure" (or smth, I don't use the watch in English). Does anyone else have the same problem? I tried to re-install the app, but it didn't bring any help. Music playlists work just fine.

    It works OK for me. I suggest you contact Garmin support as it might be specific to you (probably corrupted files on device).

    Some podcasts won’t download from Spotify to my Garmin watch - just had it replaced too, but still some won’t work. Not sure if this is due to some sort of copyright?

    hey, I was having problems downloading the BBC's Kermode & Mayo Film Review podcast from Spotify to my FR645 Music - having followed other podcasts on Spotify as a test, it seems it must be a copyright issue, as other newly followed podcasts on Spotify are showing up on my Forerunner's Spotify app. Annoying, but at least you know it's not an issue with your watch's software.

    Good info. It's a shame that Garmin support don't know that.  They would have saved themselves money and you the inconvenience of a return. 

    Personally, I try to avoid watching or listening to the BBC at all, too woke for my taste!
