Part 1. How to Play Amazon Music on Galaxy Watches Officially [3 Ways]
If you're wondering whether you can play Amazon Music on a Samsung Galaxy Watch, the answer depends on your watch model. The availability of apps varies according to the operating system (Tizen OS or Wear OS) and hardware specifications. Samsung's earlier smartwatches - such as the Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2, and older - run on Tizen OS, while newer generations starting from the Galaxy Watch 4 have switched to Wear OS. This change makes a big difference in app compatibility, including support for Amazon Music.
Tizen OS: For Galaxy Watch models powered by the Tizen operating system (Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2, and earlier), the Amazon Music app is not available or compatible.
Wear OS: Newer Galaxy Watch models (Galaxy Watch 4 and later) run on Wear OS, which supports more third-party apps, including Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and others.

Part 2. Best Way to Add Amazon Music to Galaxy Watch for Offline Listening
If you're looking for a universal way to enjoy Amazon Music offline on any Samsung Galaxy Watch, you'll need an additional tool. This section will show you how to add Amazon Music tracks to any series of Galaxy Watches easily. The process involves downloading DRM-free Amazon Music tracks first, then transferring them to your watch. The supported audio formats for Galaxy Watches include:
| Galaxy Watch-supported Audio Formats | MP3, M4A, OGA, WAV, WMA, 3GA, AAC, OGG, AMR, and AWB |
| Amazon Music | Protected FLAC or M4A |
