Troubleshooting

Watch won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the watch is fully charged. Place it on the charging puck for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't respond, try a force restart by pressing and holding both the Home and Back keys (bottom and top right buttons) for about 7-10 seconds until the Samsung logo appears.

Notifications are not coming through to the watch.

Check your phone's Bluetooth connection to the watch. Ensure 'Notifications' are enabled in the Galaxy Wearable app under Watch settings > Notifications.

Battery drains quickly.

Cannot pair or connect to the phone.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch is in pairing mode. Restart both your phone and the watch. Try unpairing and re-pairing the devices via the Galaxy Wearable app. If issues persist, try resetting the watch (note: this will erase all data on the watch).
