How Do I Factory Reset My Galaxy Watch
If your Samsung Galaxy Watch isn’t acting right or if you’re planning to sell it, a factory data reset might be in order. If it is, there are several ways you can reset your watch, including using the physical buttons on the device, using the software options on the Watch, or using the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app.
Reset Your Galaxy Watch Using the Physical Buttons
The easiest way to reset your Samsung Galaxy Watch is to use the physical buttons on the device. The process is nearly identical for Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which uses Wear OS, and Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 or Watch Active 2, which use the Tizen OS.
Reset Your Galaxy Watch Using the Software Options on the Watch
There’s also a reset option in the software that runs your watch. And the instructions for resetting the Watch 3 or Watch 4 are similar with only minor differences. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 runs Wear OS 3, while Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 use Tizen OS.
Reset Your Galaxy Watch Using the Galaxy Wearable App
One additional option you have for resetting your watch is to use the Galaxy Wearable app if it’s on your smartphone. Swipe down on the Galaxy Watch 4 face to open the Quick Settings panel. If you’re planning to continue using your Galaxy Watch, you can set up your Galaxy Watch as if it were brand new once the reset is complete. You can also restore it from your last backup.
