Note: On Wear OS models, you can only manually set the date and time if the watch has disconnected from the phone. The date and time will automatically sync when reconnected.

You can only manually set the watch's date and time when the watch is being used as a standalone device - in other words, when it's not connected to a phone. When your watch and phone are connected via Bluetooth or the Galaxy Wearable app, the phone's time and date settings sync automatically and cannot be changed from the watch. The following instructions only apply if your watch is set up as a standalone.

If the wrong language is appearing on your watch's menu and screens, you will most likely need to change the display language settings on the connected phone. This is because when your watch is paired to a phone, the watch's language is based on the connected phone's settings and cannot be changed from the watch. However, you can change these options on a standalone watch or a watch that was set up without a phone.
