Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Galaxy Watch.
•
Use the supplied wireless charging dock and charger. The Galaxy Watch cannot be
charged properly with a third-party charger.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
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 be easily accessible while charging.
Getting Started
16
1 Plug the small end of the charger into the charger port of the wireless charging dock and
plug the large end of the charger into an electric socket.
2 Place the Galaxy Watch into the wireless charging dock aligning the centre of your Galaxy
Watch’s back side with the centre of the wireless charging dock.
When you use the Galaxy Watch with the metal band (sold separately), press the
Galaxy Watch’s lower section in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure below
after placing it into the wireless charging dock to connect them properly. If the Galaxy
Watch and the wireless charging dock do not contact each other properly, the Galaxy
Watch may not charge well.

flashing and reconnect the two. If the error occurs again, contact a Samsung Service
Centre for service support.
Battery charging tips and precautions
•
If there are obstructions between the Galaxy Watch and the wireless charging dock,
the Galaxy Watch may not charge properly. Prevent the Galaxy Watch and the wireless
charger from coming into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.
•
When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Galaxy Watch cannot be turned on
immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the Galaxy Watch.
•
If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power
during a data transfer, always use these types of apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
If the Galaxy Watch is being charged with other devices via a multi charger, charging may
take longer.
•
The Galaxy Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.
Getting Started

Galaxy Watch’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging.

Band tips and precautions
•
When you wear the Galaxy Watch for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while
wearing it, skin irritation may occur due to friction and pressure. If you have been wearing
your Galaxy Watch for a long time, remove the Galaxy Watch from your wrist and do not

exposed to soap or sweat for long periods, or other factors. In this case, stop using your
Galaxy Watch and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the symptoms persist or
worsen, immediately call your doctor.

Samsung Health
Introduction
Samsung Health records and manages your 24-hour activity and sleep patterns to cultivate
healthy habits. With your Galaxy Watch connected to your mobile device, you can save and
manage health-related data and also receive useful information about your health every day.
When you exercise for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Galaxy Watch, it will display
an encouraging message. When the Galaxy Watch recognizes inactivity for more than one
hour, it will notify you and show you some stretching motions to perform. When your Galaxy
Watch recognizes you are driving, it may not display encouraging messages or stretches.
Tap (
Samsung Health
) on the Apps screen.
•
Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness
purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read
the instructions carefully.
•
Any information that is obtained from use of the Galaxy Watch or the Fit Software
or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or
reliable.

Wearing the Galaxy Watch correctly
•
When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when the Galaxy Watch
recognizes your exercise, the Galaxy Watch will automatically track your heart rate. When
measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch snugly on your arm above your wrist
as shown in the figure below.
•
If you fasten the Galaxy Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too
loosely, friction may occur.
Heart rate sensor
<Rear>
•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be reduced depending on measurement
conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your
vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your
body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to
be recorded inaccurately.
•
If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure again.
Apps and features
64
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements 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.
•
Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy
may vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as
blood circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of
blood vessels. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements
may be inaccurate.
•
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when
the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate
measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s heart rate
sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or turn the device so the heart
rate sensor sits firmly against the inside of your wrist.
•
If the heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects
may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
If your device becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing
skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user
of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be
substantially less than the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered
safe for use by the public.
This device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device 0mm from the body.
