Turn on Bluetooth

For the Galaxy Fit, make sure the watch is powered on since Bluetooth cannot be disabled.

  1. Navigate to Settings.

    There are a few different ways to navigate to the Settings menu, depending on what watch model you have:

    • Wear OS Models: From the watch's Home screen, swipe up to access the Apps screen. Swipe to and open Settings.
    • Tizen models: Press the Home key (Power key), and then navigate to and tap Settings.
    • All models: Swipe down from the top of the watch's screen to open the Quick settings panel. Tap the Settings icon to open up Settings.
  2. Turn on Bluetooth.

    Swipe to and tap Connections, tap Bluetooth, and then tap the Bluetooth switch to turn it on.

    • When connecting to another Bluetooth device, ensure that your watch and the other device are within the Bluetooth connection range (about 30 feet).

    • The distance may vary depending on the environment and if there are obstacles, such as walls or electrical equipment, between the devices.
