How to charge a Samsung Galaxy Watch with or without a charger
To take full advantage of your Galaxy Watch, make sure to charge it properly. It should be charged before using it for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of time. One thing to remember is that the battery life of your watch depends on the Wi-Fi connection, apps used, and the frequency of calls and messages. The information provided below can help you with properly charging your watch.
Note: To avoid potential damage to your Galaxy Watch, it is best to use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, cables, and docks.
Place the Watch on the wireless charger aligning the center of your watch’s backside with the center of the wireless charger.
You can also charge the Galaxy Watch via a compatible wireless charging pad or device with similar functionality.
The Galaxy Watch can be charged with a Galaxy phone via the innovative Wireless power sharing feature.
Step 1. Swipe down from the top of your Galaxy phone with two fingers to open the Quick panel > Tap Wireless power sharing icon.
Step 2. Position the Galaxy Watch back to back with your Galaxy phone (model S10 or higher).
Step 3. When charging begins, the phone will vibrate once, and the watch screen will indicate that it is charging.
