Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Galaxy Watch.
•
Use the supplied wireless charging dock and charger. The Galaxy Watch cannot be
charged properly with a third-party charger.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and be easily accessible while charging.
15
Getting Started
Plug the small end of the charger into the charger port of the wireless charging dock and

If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power
during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
If the Galaxy Watch is being charged with other devices via a multi charger, charging may
take longer.
•
The Galaxy Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.
