Roon Arc and Garmin on iOS

Roon Software Discussion Apple iPad and iPhone

I frequently go for a walk. As I have to control my heart rate, my Garmin watch (Epic Gen2) is the core of my walk (time, distance, tempo and heart rate…). In the mean time I enjoy the lanscape and listening music with Roon Arc.

As my iPhone is in my backpack, it would be nice if I could see the name of the song on my watch, and use it to stop, play, skip, etc…).

I looked for an App (here on the forum and in Garmin Connect Store), but didn’t found one.
It would be nice if there was an App (or Widget) to do this, or am I missing something?
Or can Roon adapt Arc to accept this commands?

I know I can play music directly from the watch, but:
Quality is low
It’s burning battery life.

Thanks for help,

I’ve got the Garmin Instinct and can scroll through the screens on my watch and see the song info and control arc. I don’t have to have the Garmin app open on my phone to use these controls.

Thanks for your reply. Sadly this doesn’t work on a Garmin Epix. As this watch has internal storage for music, it forces me to listen to this (or an external provider as Spotify, not Qobuz or Tidal). No chance to choose music on my phone.
So, a more advanced watch is not always an advantage…
