How Do I Connect My Samsung Watch to My Phone?
When you set up a Samsung Galaxy Watch, the process includes connecting the watch to a phone. You can connect your watch to a different phone in the future, but it can only connect to one phone at a time. That means your watch needs to be backed up and reset before you can connect it to your phone unless you’re trying to connect it to the phone you initially used to set the watch up in the first place. If you’re trying to connect your Samsung watch to the phone you initially used to set it up, the two devices should connect if they are both on, have Bluetooth enabled, and there isn’t too much wireless interference. Here’s how to connect a Samsung watch to the phone that you originally used to set it up:
How to Connect a Samsung Watch to a New Phone
To connect a Samsung watch to a new phone or fix a connection that no longer works, you need to reset your Galaxy watch.

Why Won’t My Samsung Watch Connect to My Phone?
If your Samsung watch doesn’t connect to your phone, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and watch. You can also try restarting your Samsung watch and restarting your phone to see if they can connect. If there’s a lot of wireless interference, you can also try moving your phone and your watch to an area where there isn’t as much interference. If you’re trying to connect your Samsung watch to an iPhone, be aware some Samsung watches aren’t compatible with iOS. For example, your iPhone can locate a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, and it can even try to connect, but the connection process will fail. If you’re trying to set up or connect your watch for the first time, and it won’t connect, make sure that the watch is compatible with your phone. If you need to charge your Samsung Galaxy Watch without the charger, place the Galaxy Watch on any compatible Qi charging station or a Galaxy Phone that supports PowerShare. Not all Qi chargers work with Galaxy Watches, and you need to monitor for excess heat when using third-party chargers.
