Perform a reset on your Samsung smart watch

Whether you plan to keep your watch or give it to a friend, you should back up your data before you perform a reset or recovery. This ensures your data can be restored after it's reset.

In the event you do give the watch away after the reset, be sure to unpair the Bluetooth connection between the watch and your phone. Just navigate to and open the phone's Settings, and then tap Connections. Tap Bluetooth, tap the Settings icon next to the watch, and then tap Unpair.

Depending on your watch, the reset methods may be a little different.

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Swipe to and tap General.
3. Swipe to and tap Reset.
4. Tap the checkmark and follow any on-screen instructions to start the reset.

2. Swipe all the way to the right, and then tap More options (the three vertical dots).
3. Tap the Reset icon at the bottom, and then tap the checkmark to confirm the reset.

1. Turn off your watch by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home key (Power key) and Back key until "Rebooting" displays at the bottom of the watch's display.

4. Press and hold the Home key to reboot and start the recovery. If you have a Galaxy Watch4, Watch5, or Watch6 series watch, continue to the next step. All other watches will begin the recovery process.
