Download music and the C25K app to Fitbit watch

[GordonAstley]

Is it possible to download iTunes music plus the C25K app to my iPhone and wear Bluetooth headphones ? If so, how ? Thanks in anticipation. X

Yes, just use the C25K app on your iphone. Start your music from your iPhone music app and start your C25K app. When the app is talking it just lowers the sound on your music in the background. They work well together.

Sorry. I phrased the question badly. I want to just use the music and the C25K app on my Fitbit Watch and not have to use my iPhone.

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Yes, I do all that. 😊

Could you tell me how,please?

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to GordonAstley]

Sorry, I thought you meant in the iPhone. D’oh!

The c25k app doesn't have a Fitbit version, so I don't think you can. You could download the podcasts and listen to the podcasts instead (not your own music) so you don't need your phone, that is an option for some Fitbit devices that allow to download music to them

No, it is not possible to run the C25K app on your FitBit watch. Some of the newer FitBits - Versa for example - claim to run apps, but these are special FitBit apps (think of simple exercise routines or watch faces) and not iOS or Android apps like One You C25K app on a phone. If you do have the Versa, then you will be able to store music on the watch. However, it is very unlikely that music purchased in iTunes will play on the Versa (owing to digital rights management software). And it you've ripped CDs into iTunes, then it won't have DRM, but will be tremendously tedious to copy the music to the watch. Lastly (to my knowledge) you won't be able to transfer an iTunes playlist to the Versa. The best way forward is to revert to the C25K podcasts, and put these on your Versa. No doubt FitBit have a community site where the details are provided.

This is just my personal recommendation - always go running with your iPhone as you never know when you might need to call someone. I'm not making this up: 2 of my work colleagues (both in US) have died in their mid 40s whilst out on a run in the last 10 years.

Actually...your last point makes sense. Good call....and thank-you.
