Your Galaxy Watch won't connect to your phone
Restart both your watch and phone, then open the Galaxy Wearable app and try connecting. Make sure Bluetooth is on, clear the app's cache, and try again. If it still won't connect, unpair completely and re-pair from scratch.
Your Galaxy Watch just needs a fresh start to connect. We'll restart everything, check Bluetooth, and try pairing again. If one try doesn't work, we'll completely unpair and start over.
