How to connect Galaxy watch with Samsung mobile phones?
Connecting the Watch to a smartphone via Bluetooth involves several steps on both devices. First, let's look at the steps required on the Galaxy Watch:
Step 1: Turn on the Watch.
Step 2: Select a language to use by scrolling through the options using the watch's buttons and tapping on OK when you've chosen the right one.
Step 3: Choose a country or region by following the same process as step 2, and then tap Restart. This will cause the Watch to turn off momentarily and reboot.
Now, let's move on to the mobile device (smartphone) side:
Step 4: Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. This allows your phone to detect nearby Bluetooth devices like the Galaxy Watch.
Step 5: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone. If you haven't installed it yet, download it from your app store. It's essential to have the latest version of this app for proper connectivity.
Step 6: Within the app, tap on Start to begin the pairing process.
Step 7: On the screen, you'll see a list of available devices. Select your Galaxy Watch from this list. If you can't find it, tap 'mine's not here,' and follow the prompts to manually search for the Watch.
Step 8: Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the connection between your smartphone and the Galaxy Watch.
- Connection methods and screens may vary depending on your Mobile Device and software version.
