I just ran into one of these. I just got a Garmin Fenix Pro 6 watch, and it has a Spotify client on it. Just create a playlist on your phone or computer, then download and play it from your watch with Bluetooth. Sweet! Unfortunately it autoplays, seems to set the volume way too high by default, and while the volume control is a regular slider, it takes a minimum of four button presses across three different buttons around the perimeter of the watch to reduce it. So think "Crap that's loud-press up, press down, press enter, press down..." and all the while your eardrums are being blasted out. And god help you if you deviate from the sequence and have to back out to try again.
I have the Fenix 5 so by no means the same, but it also seems like a weird "feature" to change between versions. Are you sure this isn't your headphones? I reconnect at the same volume I left it at when I join.
Agreed the UX on the watch itself to adjust is a pain, thankfully the headphones I have are adjustable to it's quicker to do it there when I need to.
Do your headphones have volume control? If you're not sure, you should check. It's likely much less painful than that sounds.
No, I have simple ones by design. I don't need my earbuds launching me into a cardio workout or a meditative breathing session if I touch them in the wrong spot. (Looking at you, Samsung.)
Hah, fair enough. Ya I find volume adjust useful but everything else I can do without.
