Access and manage emails on your Samsung smart watch

Keeping your emails organized can be a challenge, especially if you receive tons every day. When your watch is linked to the Email or Gmail app on your phone, you can reply to, delete, or access emails at any time, even when you're away from your phone or computer. You can also edit your email account, so you can have the neatest inbox ever. Newer Galaxy watch models, including the Galaxy Watch6 series, Galaxy Watch7, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, are compatible with the Gmail app.
