How to Check Your Software Version
Samsung watches run Tizen, which is Samsung’s own proprietary operating system. Unfortunately, Samsung’s watches are not particularly user-friendly when it comes to updates. You can check the software version on the watch, but to update, you need to go to the app on your phone. It’s confusing, so here’s how to perform the Galaxy Watch update.
How to Backup Your Watch Before Updating
Backing up your watch’s software is a good idea prior to running an update. Any time you change the operating system of a device, your settings and data could be at risk.
How to Update Your Samsung Galaxy Watch
While you can only check for your software version on the watch, you can only update your watch through the app on your phone. To check for updates, open the Samsung Wearable app. It is always a good idea to have the latest version of software installed, so we recommend you leave this option on. If you leave the option on, updates will download automatically when you’re connected to W-Fi, ensuring that you always have the latest version of the software.
