    It sounds to me like you just need a good old fashioned MP3 player. Are those still around?

      Well not really. I wanted it specifically for listening to offline Spotify music while working out. On my phone, I’m using a couch to 5K app which tells me when to walk vs run. And my phone has a pedometer that counts my steps. Can’t really do that with a basic mp3 player. And I wanted to use a watch instead of my phone so I don’t have to deal with holding my phone or anything while running. Plus I specifically wanted Spotify offline play, which not every basic device can do.

      I ended up just buying a belt to hold my phone and keys while running.

        Ah yeah, so the fitness tracking stuff too. Well, maybe in the long run we’ll see more storage!
