If you are trouble in looking for a solution to one of the following questions: is TomTom watch supports for Spotify? is it possible to link the TomTom watch to Spotify? or just how to download Spotify playlist to TomTom Spark 3? and then congratulations, you are the right place here.
Have you tried to make the vote for the Feature Suggestion applying for a 'Spotify for TomTom' app to get Spotify music exploration on TomTom Spark and TomTom Runner? No matter the answer is yes or no, this idea has been closed as it hasn't gathered enough kudos (100 instead of 60 per year).
That's to say, don't expect to be able to implement this feature in the near future. But please do not be discouraged. There is an unofficial yet legal approach to play Spotify music on TomTom Spark and Runner. If you are eager to do this, just refer to my successful way in this article.
