Manage the Quick panel on your Samsung smart watch
If you love the Quick panel on your Galaxy phone, then we have some good news for you: there's a panel like that on your Samsung smart watch too! Yep, it lets you easily access and activate important quick settings no matter what watch screen you're currently on.
Note: These steps do not apply to the Galaxy Fit or Galaxy Fit2.
Access the Quick panel
To access the Quick panel on your watch, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap an icon, such as Airplane mode, to turn the feature on or off. The icons will glow blue when they are activated.
The available icons and features will vary depending on the type of watch you have, if Accessibilty modes are activated, and whether or not the watch is connected to a phone.
Edit the Quick panel from the watch
There are two different ways to edit or reorder the Quick setting icons from the watch itself.
From the panel (Tizen models)
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick panel. Touch and hold an icon to activate Edit mode. To rearrange the order of the icons, touch and hold your desired icon, and then drag it to your desired location. You can tap the Delete icon (the minus sign) next to an icon to delete it from the panel.
Note: Please be aware that some models do not allow you to add any new icons using this method.
From the panel (Wear OS models)
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick panel, and then swipe left until you see the Add icon (the plus sign); tap it to open Edit mode. Then, tap Add (the plus sign) or Delete (the minus sign) to add or remove icons as needed.
