Precautions when wearing your Galaxy Watch

  • If the band is not properly secured, it may detach and cause the watch to fall. Make sure the band is fully inserted and flush with the watch.
  • If the watch is worn too tightly or too loosely, it may affect both comfort and the performance of the watch’s sensors.
  • Sweat or dust buildup around the pin area may interfere with attachment or removal. We recommend cleaning it regularly.

Note: Some watch bands need to be purchased separately.
