The watches have a lot to offer, including three different size options, new stamina tracking features, and, in the case of the 9 Pro, a titanium case and OLED display. They hit the market with a strange omission, however: YouTube Music hasn\u2019t been compatible with the Fenix 9 series, despite being available on Garmin\u2019s older watches. It looks like that\u2019s finally changed.<\/p>\n<p>As spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/gadgetsandwearables.com\/2026\/10\/21\/garmin-fenix-9-youtube-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gadgets &amp; Wearables<\/a>, Reddit user <a class=\"author-name whitespace-nowrap inline-flex items-center text-neutral-content visited:text-neutral-content-weak focus-visible:-outline-offset-1 a no-visited no-underline hover:no-underline cursor-pointer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/gloomwind\/\" aria-label=\"Author: gloomwind\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-expanded=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">gloomwind<\/a> shared that the YouTube Music app is now compatible with the Garmin Fenix 9 and 9 Pro.

Using the app requires a paid YouTube subscription. Sure enough, the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro are now listed among the compatible devices on <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/apps\/b841615b-6b4c-4425-a912-377827866362?tid=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube Music\u2019s Garmin Connect IQ app store listing<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GarminWatches\/comments\/1xblb85\/comment\/19rfqti3n4s0x\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">One commenter<\/a> on gloomwind\u2019s Reddit post said the app wasn\u2019t available in Germany as of yesterday, so it\u2019s possible availability varies by region.<\/p>\n<p>Google first released a YouTube Music app for Garmin watches <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/garmin-adds-youtube-music-app-to-connect-iq-store-3451196\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in 2024<\/a>.
