If the previously used Bluetooth is available, it will be connected automatically. 

Note: Audio output for call conversation to Bluetooth headphones is only available with LTE watch models. If the switch for Call audio and Media audio is turned off, you will not hear any output to the Bluetooth headphones and they may disconnect from the watch. 

Your Galaxy Watch Active2 can remember up to two Bluetooth devices at once and will switch between them as needed. If you encounter issues locating your watch via Bluetooth, try the following troubleshooting steps before contacting support:

 

- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your watch.

- Reset your watch and try again.

- Check that your watch and the other Bluetooth device are within 10 meters (33 feet) of each other. Obstacles like walls or electronic equipment can affect the range.

 

Additional tips for improving Bluetooth connectivity include:

- Activate Bluetooth on both devices.

- Keep devices without obstructions between them.

- Update the Galaxy Wearable app to the latest version.

- Restart both devices and relaunch the Galaxy Wearable app.
