With the YouTube Music app, eligible Garmin watch users can download playlist and podcasts for offline playback. It essentially means users will be able to download audio files and playlists directly on their eligible Garmin watches for offline playback on the go. It is important to note, however, YouTube Music offers audio download option to paid tier subscribers only.
