Manage widgets on your Samsung smart watch
Did you know you can access your watch's features with just a flick of your finger? Rather you have a smartwatch or a fitness band, it has widgets, which are like previews of your favorite apps. For example, they can give you weather updates without having to open the Weather app. Just swipe left from the Home screen to see what's happening with your widgets.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by provider, phone, or watch. Some watch models can only manage widgets through the Galaxy Wearable apps.

To remove a widget from the watch's Home screen, swipe to the left until you reach your desired widget. Tap and hold the widget, and then release. To rearrange the widgets' order, drag and drop the selected widget to your desired location. Or, if you want to delete the selected widget, tap the Remove icon on the upper right.
