Wrong language selected during Galaxy watch setup
It can be frustrating if the wrong language is appearing on your Galaxy watch's menu and screens. To fix this, you will need to change the display language on the connected phone. When your watch is paired to a phone, the watch's language is based on the connected phone's language. Luckily, changing the language on your phone is simple, even if you’re having trouble reading the settings and options.
These steps apply to Galaxy watches sold in the US only.
