Drains battery faster: Streaming music constantly can put a strain on your Fitbit’s battery life, so it’s important to use Spotify in moderation.
-
No offline playback: Unlike the smartphone app, Spotify on Fitbit requires an internet connection to stream music. This means you won’t be able to listen to your favorite playlists offline.
