How to Listen to Audible on Garmin Watch

Part 1. Can I Get Audible on My Garmin Watch?

So, you're eager to listen to your favorite Audible audiobooks on your trusty Garmin watch during your workouts or outdoor adventures. While Garmin watches don't have a built-in Audible app, there are workarounds to make it happen. However, it's not as straightforward as downloading an app from the Garmin store. This is because Audible audiobooks come in formats like AA or AAX, which aren't directly compatible with Garmin watches. Additionally, using older methods like Audible Manager may be cumbersome and time-consuming, and it's exclusively for Audible subscribers.

For a simpler and more effective solution, consider using ViWizard Audible Converter. This handy tool allows you to easily convert your Audible audiobooks from the protected AA/AAX formats to more compatible formats like MP3 or M4B. Once converted, you can transfer the audiobooks to your Garmin watch hassle-free via Garmin Express, SD card, or USB cable.

Part 2. How to Get Audible on Garmin Watch

There're several ways you can try to get Audible on your Garmin watch. We recommend Method 2 as it's easier and 100% working.

Method 1: Using Audible Manager

Some users may attempt to transfer downloaded Audible titles to their Garmin watch using Audible Manager. However, this method can be complex and may not yield satisfactory results due to compatibility issues with the AA or AAX formats. If you're feeling adventurous and want to explore this method further, feel free to do so. Just be aware that it might not be the most user-friendly option.

1. Visit the Audible official website and download the Audible Manager app onto your computer.



2. Connect your Garmin watch to your computer using a USB cable. Then, launch the Audible Manager application.
3. In the Audible Manager application, navigate to Devices > Add New Device. From the list of devices that appears, select your Garmin watch.



4. Click "OK" to confirm your Garmin watch selection. On your Garmin watch, confirm the connection by activating it.
5. After activating your Garmin watch, click the "Active" button in Audible Manager. You'll be prompted to sign in to your Audible account.



6. Now, you can transfer your Audible audiobooks to your Garmin watch. Select the audiobooks you want to add to your device and click "Add to Device." Wait for the transfer process to complete.

By following these steps, you can attempt to play Audible audiobooks on your Garmin watch using Audible Manager. Keep in mind that this method may have limitations and may not work seamlessly due to compatibility issues with Garmin watches and the AA/AAX formats.
