It's the beginning of a new SamMobile Week — a weekly series through which we explore Samsung apps and services Monday through Friday. Previously, we reviewed the Samsung Health and SmartThings apps. This week, we're diving deep into another app that is intertwined with Samsung's device ecosystem. As per the title above, we're referring to […]
One UI Watch offers plenty of options and system settings for Galaxy Watch users, but whatever you see inside the Settings app is not everything. Just like Android phones, Wear OS smartwatches such as the Galaxy Watch 5 have a “developer mode” that hides numerous additional system settings and options. This developer mode allows users […]
Samsung Galaxy Watches come with a feature called Theater Mode. You may have heard of it, given that it's been around for a few years, and you may already know what it does, judging by its name. If this is the first time you are hearing about this feature, in short, Theater Mode is a […]
The Galaxy Watch series offers two safety features that allow users to get in touch with emergency contacts or services. The SOS with Home key feature lets users contact emergency contacts by pressing the Home key three or four times in succession, and the hard fall detection feature does the same when the watch detects […]
Galaxy Watches are not equipped with fingerprint scanners, but did you know you can set up a lock screen PIN or pattern for your Samsung smartwatch? Indeed, you can. But the question is, should you do it? And why would you? The short answer is “better security.” If you enable a lock screen pattern or […]
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 are some of the cleverest smartwatches on the market, partly because they use the new BioActive sensor, which the company has designed to read vitals and fitness data more accurately than ever. In addition, Samsung's wearables also have simpler sensors you'd usually find on mobile devices such […]
Even though Wear OS is owned by Google, the platform lacks services like a Chrome web browser. Thankfully, after being absent briefly last year, Samsung Internet came back to the rescue, and Wear OS users wanting to browse the web from their wrists can download Samsung's web browser on their smartwatches via the Play Store. […]
Samsung Galaxy Watches offer a variety of settings that can change the user experience in many ways, from custom watch faces to the orientation of the display and physical buttons. Another way in which Galaxy Watch users can alter their experience is through touchscreen settings. Whether or not they use the Always-On display feature, they […]
We've all experienced it. The sheer feeling of dread when we find out that our phone is missing. Most of us panic, thinking repeatedly that I need to find my phone before it's lost forever. That might sound a bit too dramatic to some people, but that is the reality for everybody else. It's not […]
Samsung Galaxy smartwatch users can run diagnostics to figure out if their wearables suffer from faulty hardware or software issues. Samsung offers diagnostic tools for Galaxy Watch 5 and 4 smartphones, just like it does for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. These smartwatch diagnostic tools are easy to access and work much like they do on […]
Samsung's smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 running Wear OS, can seamlessly sync data with a connected Galaxy phone or tablet. For example, once you set up your Galaxy Watch and connect it to your mobile device, your fitness data will be automatically synced with Samsung Health on your smartphone […]
Samsung created its own unique font, but for whatever reason, it is not the default choice for Galaxy phones and smartwatches. It probably should be since it is pretty awesome, and thankfully, users can enable it easily on mobile phones, tablets, and wrist wearables. Samsung Design says that the font, called SamsungOne, is “designed to […]
Smartwatches are far from enjoying the same level of adoption as smartphones, but they have continued to grow in popularity over the years. And for good reasons. Not only are they great fitness trackers with increasingly better sensors and battery life, but some models, like the Galaxy Watch 5, are also fashionable and highly customizable. […]
Samsung's Galaxy Watch lets you quickly reply to messages using a feature called “Message suggestions.” These suggestions are not available in every language, however, the Galaxy Watch also lets you create any custom responses you want. Message suggestions are available on your Galaxy Watch 5 when your connected phone is set to one of several […]

Samsung smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch 5, can be used in any of the four possible configurations. If you want to wear […]
