1 Clean your wrist and the watch strap or band after exercising or sweating. Clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth, and dry it thoroughly
2 Make sure that the Galaxy Watch/ Fit is not exposed to dust, sweat, ink, oil, or any chemical products, such as cosmetics, sunscreen, antibacterial spray, hand cleaner, detergent, or insecticides.
3 If the watch gets stained or contains any foreign materials, wipe it with a moistened, soft-bristled toothbrush.
4 Clean the rubber watchband with clean water and dry thoroughly.
5 Clean a leather band with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid certain cleaning substances and products.

  • Do not use soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials, or compressed air to clean your watch.

  • Skin irritation may be caused by soap, detergent, hand sanitizer, or cleaning agents left on your skin.

  • Do not clean the watch using ultrasonic waves or external heat sources.

Note: Your watch may charge slowly or not at all, monitor your heart rate inaccurately, and irritate your skin if there is moisture or a buildup of any substance on the back.

To help it run at its best and also prevent skin irritation, you'll need to keep your watch nice and dry. Whenever it does get wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. You should also dry the charging surface on the back side of your watch before attaching it to a charger or wearing it.

Please also keep in mind:

1 Do not expose your watch to water at high pressure.
2 Do not expose the straps to very wet conditions as this can cause skin irritation. Dry the straps before wearing the smartwatch.
3 The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if your watch is immersed in water or other liquids.
4 If your watch is exposed to any liquid other than fresh water (like salt water), rinse it with fresh water immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
5 Your watch is not impervious to water damage in any situation.
6 Failure to rinse your watch in fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause it to suffer from operability, cosmetic, and charging issues. For example, it may charge more slowly or overheat.

There is a suitable technique for putting on your Samsung smartwatch so that it is tight and comfortable while you wear it.

Slide the end of the strap or band through the loop after positioning the watch in the middle of your wrist. After that, tighten the band or strap to fit your wrist and firmly put the pin into the adjustment hole. Ascertain that the pin is completely in the hole. However, be careful not to overtighten the band or strap.


Take the required safety measures if you have sensitive skin or an allergy to any of the materials used in the Galaxy smartwatch.

Please also be aware of the following:

  • Do not bend the strap or band excessively. Doing so may damage your watch.

  • Do not brace your watch against your body or a table.

Note: There may be some discomfort if the watch is worn on sensitive skin or fastened too tightly.
