YouTube Music Now Available on Garmin Smartwatches
According to Garmin users, the YouTube Music experience is quite similar to the Wear OS watches. Users can browse their library for music and podcasts like on any other smartwatch with the app.
In addition, the now-playing interface shows a corresponding button for playing, pausing, and skipping on the models. YouTube Music is often used on Android and iOS devices which is why expanding to Garmin has surprised some of its users.
