Samsung Galaxy Watch series is a line of smartwatches designed and produced by Samsung Electronics. The line features various health, fitness, and fashion-related features, and is integrated with Samsung’s other products under the Samsung Galaxy brand. The series is also the successor to the previous Samsung Gear watches.
Before, we simply buy a watch and we wore it, and it is perfectly worked. But, Nowadays we are mostly using smartwatches, for that we need to set up a procedure. Most of all the watches synced with our smartphone too, to get install apps and work. Here, Samsung Galaxy Watch comes with a watch mode that allows us to use it without connecting to a smartphone.
The below steps will let us know how to do it.
How Does the Samsung Galaxy Watch Work without a Phone?
That is most of all smartwatches will work without a phone. Installed Apps that don’t require a wifi or Internet connection will work fine without your phone. That includes the time, alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, and watch sensors for health tracking. What we will miss out on is the phone notifications on the watch since it is not connected. For the Galaxy Watch, if you connect it to an Internet connection (either via Wi-Fi or LTE on your watch) and log in with our Samsung account, we can then download apps and content directly from the watch’s app store.
How to Set up and Use our Samsung Galaxy Watch (without a Mobile phone):
To get started, turn on the watch and follow these steps:
#Tap on “Let’s go” on the initial screen.
#Scroll down on the screen and tap on the question mark{?}.
#We will be taken to the Help screen. Scroll down and click on the “here” link.
#We’ll receive a notification asking whether we are sure we want to use your Galaxy Watch without a phone.
#Scroll down on the same screen and click on Continue. If you decide to connect to a phone instead, click on “Restart.”
#The Terms and Conditions screen will show up. Click on “Agree.”
# Again another Terms and Conditions screen will get appear. Scroll down and check the box next to “I have read and agree to all of the above,” then tap “Next.”
If we want to sign in, we can sign in with your Samsung account, then set the time zone, date, and time. We can create a PIN to easily restore data if we want to connect to a mobile device in the future. If we are already using our Galaxy Watch connected to our phone, you will have to reset it before you can set it up for use without a phone.
