Spotify on the Galaxy Watch

I really like my Galaxy Watch, but getting Spotify configured was a real chore and took some troubleshooting. I thought I would post my experience online in case it might be useful to others.

What works
  1. Turn on your phone's hot spot wifi.
  2. Set the Galaxy Watch wifi to always on, and then connect to your phone's hot spot wifi.
  3. Back on your phone, add your Galaxy Watch as a trusted device for hot spot wifi.
  4. Open Spotify on your Galaxy Watch and on your phone.
  5. Sign in with your Spotify account. (I tried logging in with Facebook and could not get it to work.)
  6. Find the playlist you want and then flip the switch to download to your watch.
  7. Wait until finished downloading.
  8. Set the Galaxy Watch wifi back to auto in order to better manage battery life.
  9. Turn off your phone's hot spot wifi.
