Setting Up a Samsung Galaxy Watch to a New Phone

Many people do not upgrade their devices because they don’t want to go through setting up the new device all over again. Their comfort with the current device is understandable, but one or the other time, it is essential to move on from the same.

If you have bought a new phone and want to connect it to your Samsung Galaxy smartwatch, the process is a little annoying because it is not an easy job. Certain devices are so easy to set up that you tap on the ‘connect’ button, and the job is done. However, the case is not the same as a Galaxy watch.

Are you looking forward to connecting your Samsung Galaxy watch with a new phone? Below is a guide on doing the same, but in a simple manner.
