• Some features that work while wearing the Watch are not available while

sharing power.

• To charge properly, do not move or use the device that works as a wireless

charging pad or Watch while charging.

• The power charged to your Watch may be less than the amount shared to it by

the device that works as a wireless charging pad.

•

If you charge the Watch while charging the device that works as a wireless
charging pad, the charging speed may decrease or the Watch may not charge
properly, depending on the charger type.

• The charging speed or efficiency may vary depending on the condition of the
device that works as a wireless charging pad or the surrounding environment.

•

If the remaining battery power of the device that works as a wireless charging
pad drops below a certain level, power sharing will stop.

Battery charging tips and precautions

Use only Samsung-approved charger and cable specifically designed for your
Watch. Incompatible charger and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to
your device.

• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any

damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

• Use only wireless charger supplied with the Watch. The Watch cannot be charged

properly with a third-party wireless charger.

•

If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the device may be
damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.

Getting started

• To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not
in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric
socket and easily accessible while charging.

• The Watch has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery by

using a wireless charging pad. The wireless charging pad is sold separately. For
more information about available wireless charging pads, refer to the Samsung
website.

• When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved charger that

guarantees the charging performance.

•

If there are obstructions between the Watch and the wireless charger, it may
not charge properly. Check if there is any sweat, liquid, or dust on them before
charging.

If the battery is completely discharged, the Watch cannot be turned on
immediately when the wireless charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to
charge for a few minutes before turning it on.

If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection
to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a
data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

• When connecting the wireless charger to another power source, such as a

computer or multi-charging hub, the Watch may not charge properly or it may
charge more slowly because of a lower electric current.

• The Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge

the battery.

•

If the Watch’s power supply is unstable while being used and charged at the
same time, the touch screen may not be responsive. If this happens, disconnect
the Watch from the wireless charger.

• While charging, the Watch may heat up. This is normal and should not affect

the Watch’s lifespan or performance. Before wearing the Watch, allow it to cool
down for a while before using it. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging.

•

If the Watch is not charging properly, take the Watch and the wireless charger to
a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

• Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger

cable is damaged, stop using it.

Getting started

Using power saving mode
Turn on power saving mode to extend the battery’s usage time.

Open the quick panel by dragging downwards from the top edge of the screen and tap

to turn the feature on. Alternatively, on the Apps screen, tap

(Settings) → Battery

and device care → Battery and tap the Power saving switch to turn it on.

Power saving mode will be turned on and some features can be restricted.

If the battery power drops below a certain level, the power saving screen will
appear. Tap Turn on to turn power saving mode on. In this case, power saving mode
will be turned off automatically when your Watch’s battery is charged more than
15%. However, if you turn on power saving mode from the Settings menu or quick
panel, power saving mode will not be turned off automatically, even if your Watch’s
battery is charged to more than 15%.

Wearing the Watch

Attaching and removing the band
Attach the band before using your Watch. You can detach the band from the Watch and
replace it with a new one.

Be careful not to hurt your fingernail when attaching or replacing bands.

• The supplied band may vary depending on the region or model.

• The supplied band’s size may vary depending on the model. Use the proper band

which fits your model’s size.

Getting started

1 Attach the band to your Watch while pressing the band’s button firmly.

2 Gently pull on both sides of the band to make sure it is tightly connected and not

detached from your Watch.

Remove the band while pressing the band’s button.

Getting started

Putting on the Watch
Open the buckle and place your Watch around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist,
insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band
is too tight, use the next hole.

Do not bend the band excessively. Doing so may damage the Watch.

• To measure your physical condition accurately, wear the Watch firmly around
your lower arm above the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate
measurements for more information.

• When certain materials come into contact with the back of the Watch, your

Watch may recognise that you are wearing it on your wrist depending on the
type of material.

•

If the sensors on the back of your Watch do not come into contact with your wrist
for more than 10 minutes, your Watch may recognise that you are not wearing it
on your wrist.

Band tips and precautions

• For accurate measurement, you have to wear the Watch so that it fits your wrist.

After measuring, loosen the band to allow air to reach your skin. It is recommended
to wear the Watch so that it is not too loose or tight, and that it feels comfortable in
normal circumstances.

• When you wear the Watch for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while
wearing it, skin irritation may occur because of certain factors, such as friction,
pressure, or moisture. If you have been wearing your Watch for a long time, remove it
from your wrist for a while to keep your skin healthy and allow your wrist to rest.

• Skin irritation may occur because of an allergy, environment factors, other factors,
or when your skin is exposed to soap or sweat for long periods. In this case, stop
using your Watch immediately and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the
symptoms persist or worsen, call your doctor.

• Make sure your skin is dry before wearing your Watch. If you wear a wet Watch for a

long time, your skin may be affected.

•

If you use your Watch in the water, remove foreign materials from your skin and
Watch and dry them thoroughly to prevent the skin irritation.

• Do not use any accessories except the Watch in the water.

Getting started

How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements
For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above the
wrist while leaving a finger’s worth of space as shown in the figure.

Electrical biosensors

Electrical
biosensors

Infrared temperature
sensor

Optical heart rate sensor

•

If you fasten the Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur, and if you fasten it
too loosely, friction may occur.

• Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Make sure children

do not look directly at the lights. Doing so may impair your vision.

•

If the Watch becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing your
skin to the Watch’s hot surface for a long time may cause low-temperature
burns.

• Remove all water from your Watch and the band before measuring your body

composition and ECG.

•

If any water, dust, or stains are on the infrared temperature sensor, the
measurements may be inaccurate.

• Clean the infrared temperature sensor with a soft cloth or cotton bud.

Getting started

• Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate. The accuracy of the

optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on the surroundings,
measurement conditions, and user’s physiological state.

• As cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement, keep yourself

warm when checking your heart rate during winter or cold weather.

• Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your

heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.

• Do not move, talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate

measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.

•

If your heart rate is extremely high or low, the measurement may not be
accurate.

•

If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not be accurate.

• Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when

the Watch is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. In this case, wear
the Watch on your inner arm.

•

If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the
Watch’s optical heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or
wear the Watch on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.

If the optical heart rate sensor and the electrical biosensors are dirty, wipe the
sensors and try again. If foreign materials prevent the light from reflecting
evenly, the measurement may not be accurate.

• The optical heart rate sensor may be affected by tattoos, marks, and hair on the
wrist you wear your Watch on. These may cause your Watch not to recognise that
you are wearing it, and the Watch’s features may not work properly. Therefore,
wear your Watch on a wrist that does not interfere with the Watch’s features.

• The measurement features may not work properly because of certain factors,
such as the light from the optical heart rate sensor being blocked, depending
on your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the
sensor area.

• For accurate measurements, use the Ridge sport band. The Ridge sport band

may be sold separately depending on the model.

• Rest for five minutes before taking measurements.

•

If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure it again.

• During winter or in cold weather, keep yourself warm when measuring your heart

rate.

• Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements increases heart rate

and may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.

• Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so

may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.

Apps and features

• Heart rate measurements may vary depending on the measurement method and the

Body composition
Measure your body composition, such as your skeletal muscle mass or fat mass.

• This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not

use it for medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or
prevention of disease.

• Do not measure your body composition if you have an implanted cardiac

pacemaker, defibrillator, or if any other electronic device is inside of your body.

• A low electric current goes through your body when measuring your body

composition. Although it is harmless to humans, do not measure your body
composition if you are pregnant.

• For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above
the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements for more
information.

• For accurate body composition measurements, you must enter your actual

height, weight, and gender on the Samsung Health app profile of the connected
phone, and also enter your actual birthday on your Samsung account. If the
measured body composition results are inaccurate, check your user profile in the
Samsung Health app on the phone and modify it.

• Unlike professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which
has to be worn your wrist, measures the upper body’s composition and estimates
your entire body’s composition to provide the results. Therefore the measured
body composition results may be inaccurate in the following cases: when your
upper and lower body’s composition is too unbalanced, when you are extremely
obese, or when you have a very large amount of muscles.

Apps and features

• The Watch uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method when

measuring body composition, which has more than 98% correlation compared
to the Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method, which is regarded as
the golden standard.

Be aware of following conditions before measuring your body composition:

•

If you are an individual under the age of 20, the results may not be accurate when
you measure your body composition.

• You can get more accurate body composition results if you follow the following

measurement conditions:

‒ Measuring at the same time of the day (recommended to measure in the

morning)

‒ Measuring on an empty stomach

‒ Measuring after going to the bathroom

‒ Measuring when you are not having your menstrual period

‒ Measuring before doing activities that cause your body temperature to rise, such

• You can use this device when you are exercising, washing your hands or on a rainy

day.

• You can use this device when you are swimming in a pool or the sea where the water

level is not deep.

• The water resistance of your Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish over
time. It is recommended to have your Galaxy device’s water resistance tested once a
year at a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

• You must follow these guidelines to maintain the water and dust resistance of your

device.

‒ After swimming, and before the pool water or seawater has dried, rinse the device

with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its
water resistance. The water resistance may be affected by the disinfectants in
swimming pool water or the salt in seawater.

‒ If the device gets wet with liquid other than fresh water, such as coffee, drinks,
soapy water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand sanitiser, or chemical products like
cosmetics, rinse the device with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft,
clean cloth to maintain its water resistance.

137

Usage notices

‒ Do not stay submerged underwater, go snorkelling, diving or scuba diving, or play
water sports like water-skiing or surfing, and do not swim in fast-moving water,
such as a river, while wearing your device. Also, do not expose it to high-pressure
cleaning machines or similar things. This would result in a dramatic rise in water
pressure which could cause the water resistance guaranteed by our company to
change.

‒ If the device is hit or damaged, its water and dust resistance may be

compromised.

‒ Do not disassemble your device without proper guidance.

‒ If you dry your device with a machine that gives off hot air, like a hair dryer, or if

you use your device in a hot environment like a sauna, the water resistance could
be damaged from a dramatic change in the air or water temperature.

because of the characteristics of the leather material. This is normal and you can
address this issue by applying leather care products to the band at the connection
point.

• Avoid exposing the Watch’s hybrid band to chemicals, direct sunlight, hot or humid
environments, or water. The leather material’s colour and form may change if you
do so. If it gets wet, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately and dry it in a
well-ventilated and shaded place.

• When your hybrid band get stained, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary,
