Description

### What problem does this address?

Currently, there is no Pocket Casts integration with Garmin music-compatible sportwatches.

### What is your proposed solution?

As there is no way to stream audio directly from Garmin's watches, I propose publishing a trimmed-down version of the app for Garmin watches which will enable the option to Download episodes directly to the watch, perhaps syncing from the user's queue.

Some big companies, Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music offer offer versions of their apps, but their podcast integrations are subpar, particularly on Garmin watches.

### Did you search for existing feature suggestions?

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by determining whether this Android repository can support a Garmin watch app and what Garmin platform support would require; done would mean a defined path for downloading or syncing podcast episodes to compatible watches.
