Part 1. Is There a Spotify App for Huawei Watch?

Currently, there is no direct, fully integrated Spotify app available for the Huawei Watch. This means you can't simply download and install Spotify directly onto your Huawei Watch like you might on a Wear OS device for independent use. This lack of direct integration between Spotify and Huawei's watch operating systems means seamless offline playback isn't a standard feature.

However, that doesn't mean all hope is lost! You can still enjoy Spotify in conjunction with your Huawei Watch through this method: listening to local Spotify music files synced to your watch without your phone. This method requires you to have the Spotify music files in a Huawei Watch-compatible format with the help of DRmare Spotify Music Converter.

Note:

If you own a Huawei Watch Series (such as the Watch 4, Watch 3, or Watch 2), a Huawei Watch GT Series (including the Watch GT5, Watch GT4, Watch GT3, and Watch GT2), or a Huawei Watch Fit Series (like the Watch Fit3, Watch Fit2, or Watch Fit Special Edition), you might find a "Spotify Controller" app available for download in the Huawei AppGallery on your watch.

This handy app acts as a remote control for the Spotify application running on your connected smartphone. It allows you to conveniently play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust the volume of your Spotify music directly from your wrist, all while the Spotify app handles the streaming on your phone.

Part 2. Tools Required to Get Spotify on Huawei Watch without a Phone

While there's no direct Huawei Watch Spotify app for offline listening, these watches do support playing music files stored locally on its internal storage. This means if you can get your Spotify music into a compatible format and transfer it to your watch, you can listen without your phone.

Spotify tracks are typically protected by digital rights management (DRM), which prevents direct copying and playback on unauthorized devices. To use Spotify music on your Huawei Watch Fit3, GT4, GT3, and GT2, you'll need to convert the Spotify tracks into DRM-free, watch-compatible audio formats like MP3 or M4A.

DRmare Spotify Music Converter is such a tool to remove DRM from Spotify songs and download Spotify files to Huawei Watch-compatible tracks. It can convert and keep Spotify music to plain audio formats like MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, AIFF, and more at 15X faster speed. Also, you can alter Spotify output audio channel, sample rate, and so on for better output quality. After getting local Spotify tracks, you can sync and listen to Spotify on Huawei Watch offline without your phone.
