How to connect Samsung watch with mobile
If you have a Samsung Gear S2, Gear S3, or Gear Sport and didn’t receive the Tizen 3.0 update, you can still connect your watch to a phone running Android Nougat (7.0) or higher. However, you will not be able to use all the features of the Samsung Gear app, and I recommend that you update your watch to Tizen 3.0.
To connect the watch to a phone with Android Nougat (7.0) or higher:
- On your phone, open the Samsung Gear app.
- Tap on SETTINGS .
- In “ Connect with Gear ”, press search
- If necessary, follow the onscreen instructions to turn on Bluetooth and search for devices.
- Tap the name of your watch when it appears in the list of available devices.
- If prompted, enter a four-digit PIN or access code.
- Tap CONNECT .
