Samsung smart watch screen is dark and only emits a voice

Galaxy Watch black display

If your watch screen is dark and emits a voice, check if the Dark screen mode is turned on. Depending on your watch, you can check the Dark screen settings using your watch or the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. However, we'll show you how to turn the feature off using the app since it's much easier.

  1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app.

    On the paired phone, navigate to and open Galaxy Wearable.

  2. Turn off Dark screen.

    Swipe to tap Accessibility, and then tap Screen reader. Next, tap Settings, and then tap Dark screen to turn off the feature.

    Note: Turning off Voice Assistant will also turn off Dark screen.

  3. These steps are not applicable to watches running Wear OS.
