Spotify App On Apple Watch Not Working

• Would be nice if it would sync more often or there was at least an option on the phone app to force a sync. Apple Watch, IOS 8.3. May 1, 2015 7:48 PM.
• Apple Watch 4 GPS/LTE. Operating System. My Apple Watch Spotify app will not connect to my phone. It just has my watch’s name listed but no controls with Spotify. I’ve reinstalled and uninstalled the app on my phone and the watch multiple times with no change.

Resetting the sync data is the easier way to fix common syncing issues between Apple Watch and the connected iPhone. Resetting the sync data on your watch can trigger a new sync session and clear.

You are not alone. I've seen this quite frequently on my Nike AW2. I've got three 'work arounds' but no fix.

1. The Hammer:

Just before the run (for example while you're warming up), open NRC on the iPhone, then start a NRC run on the AW for 20-30 seconds then cancel it. You should notice a 'pop up' on the iPhone announcing a run has started. Next, beginning the real run on the iPhone seems to always start the run on the AW as well.

2. The screwdriver:

If I've started a run on the iPhone and noticed after roughly a minute of running, the NRC AW app has launched but hasn't started the run, quit NRC from the AW dock and restart on AW.

3. The Feather:

Watch 6

If I've started a run on the iPhone and noticed after roughly a minute that NRC launched on AW but hasn't started displaying the run, swipe left or right on the NRC watch display. It usually then displays the spinning dots and starts the run display.
