Battery charging tips and precautions
Use only Samsung-approved charger and cable specifically designed for your
Watch. An incompatible charger or cable can cause serious injuries or damage to
your device.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•
Use only the wireless charger supplied with the Watch. The Watch cannot be
charged properly with a third-party wireless charger.
•
If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the device may be
damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.
•
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 easily accessible while charging.
•
The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 do not support the Wireless power
sharing feature.
•
The Watch has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery by
using a wireless charging pad. However, the Watch is not chargeable with some
wireless charging pads when the band is attached because of the structure of
some bands. To charge the Watch with the wireless charging pad, first remove
the band from your Watch. Also, the wireless charging pads are sold separately.
For more information about available wireless charging pads, refer to the
Samsung website.
•
When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved charger that
guarantees the charging performance.
•
If there are obstructions between the Watch and the wireless charger, it may
not charge properly. Check if there is any sweat, liquid, or dust on them before
charging.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Watch cannot be turned on
immediately after the wireless charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to
charge for a few minutes before turning it on.
•
If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to
another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
Getting started
15
•
When connecting the wireless charger to another power source, such as a
computer or multi-charging hub, the Watch may not charge properly or it may
charge more slowly because of a lower electric current.
•
The Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.
•
If the Watch’s power supply is unstable while being used and charged at the
same time, the screen may not be responsive. If this happens, disconnect the
Watch from the wireless charger.
•
While charging, the Watch may heat up. This is normal and should not affect
the Watch’s lifespan or performance. Before wearing the Watch, allow it to cool
down for a while before using it. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging.
•
If the Watch is not charging properly, take the Watch and the wireless charger to
a Samsung Service Centre or an authorized service centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger
cable is damaged, stop using it.
Using power saving mode
Turn on power saving mode to extend the battery’s usage time.
Open the quick panel by dragging downwards from the top edge of the screen and tap
to turn the feature on. Alternatively, on the Apps screen, tap (

Power saving
switch to turn it on.

Putting on the Watch
▶
Galaxy Watch7: Place your Watch around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist, insert
the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band is too
tight, use a looser hole.
▶
Galaxy Watch Ultra: Adjust the loop that fits around your wrist and place your Watch
around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist, insert the pin into the adjustment holes,
and then slide the end of the band through the loop to secure it. If the band is too tight,
use a looser hole.
Do not bend the band excessively. Doing so may damage the Watch.
•
To measure your physical condition accurately, wear the Watch firmly around
your lower arm above the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate
measurements for more information.
•
When certain materials come into contact with the back of the Watch, your
Watch may recognize that you are wearing it on your wrist depending on the
type of material.
•
If the sensors on the back of your Watch do not come into contact with your wrist
for more than 10 minutes, your Watch may determine that you are not wearing it
on your wrist.
Band tips and precautions
•
For accurate measurement, you have to wear the Watch so that it fits your wrist.
After measuring, loosen the band to allow air to reach your skin. It is recommended
to wear the Watch so that it is not too loose or tight, and that it feels comfortable in
normal circumstances.
•
When you wear the Watch for a long time or do high-intensity exercise while wearing
it, skin irritation may occur because of certain factors, such as friction, pressure, or
moisture. If you have been wearing your Watch for a long time, remove it from your
wrist for a while to keep your skin healthy and allow your wrist to rest.
•
Skin irritation may occur because of an allergy, environment factors, other factors,
or when your skin is exposed to soap or sweat for long periods. In this case, stop
using your Watch immediately and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the
symptoms persist or worsen, call your doctor.
Getting started
19
•
Make sure your skin is dry before wearing your Watch. If you wear a wet Watch for a
long time, your skin may be affected.
•
If you use your Watch in the water, remove foreign materials from your skin and
Watch and dry them thoroughly to prevent the skin irritation.
•
Do not use any accessories except the Watch in the water.
•
If you frequently find that the buttons are being pressed unintentionally because of
the thickness of your clothes, gloves, or the way your Watch fits, try employing one of
the following techniques:
‒
Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements and try wearing your
Watch again.
‒
Wear your Watch so that the buttons are facing the opposite direction. If the

•
If you fasten the Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur, and if you fasten it
too loosely, friction may occur.
•
Do not look directly at the optical bio-signal sensor’s lights. Make sure children
do not look directly at the lights. Doing so may impair their vision.
•
If the Watch becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing your
skin to the Watch’s hot surface for a long time may cause low-temperature
burns.
•
Remove all water from your Watch and the band before measuring your body
composition and ECG.
•
If any water, dust, or stains are on the infrared temperature sensor, the
measurements may be inaccurate.
•
Clean the infrared temperature sensor with a soft cloth or cotton bud.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate. The accuracy of the
optical bio-signal sensor may be diminished depending on the surroundings,
measurement conditions, and your physiological state.
•
As cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement, keep yourself
warm when checking your heart rate during winter or cold weather.
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your
heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not move, talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate
measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
If your heart rate is extremely high or low, the measurement may not be
accurate.
•
If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not be accurate.
•
If you have thin wrists, you may experience inaccurate heart rate measurements
when the Watch is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. In this case,
wear the Watch on your inner arm.
•
If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the
Watch’s optical bio-signal sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or
wear the Watch on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
•
If the optical bio-signal sensor and the electrical bio-signal sensors are dirty,
wipe the sensors and try again. If foreign materials prevent the light from
reflecting evenly, the measurement may not be accurate.
Getting started
21
•
The optical bio-signal sensor may be affected by tattoos, marks, and hair on the
wrist you wear your Watch on. These may cause your Watch not to recognize that
you are wearing it, and the Watch’s features may not work properly. Therefore,
wear your Watch on a wrist that does not interfere with the Watch’s features.
•
The measurement features may not work properly because of certain factors,
such as the light from the optical bio-signal sensor being blocked, depending
on your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the
sensor area.
•
For accurate measurements, use the Ridge sport band. The Ridge sport band
may be sold separately depending on the model.
•
For accurate measurements, your wrist and the button position must be the
same as the settings on your Watch. On the Apps screen, tap (

Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness
purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features,
read the instructions carefully.
•
If you use the Samsung Health features while wearing another wearable device
with your Watch, such as a Galaxy Ring, it may take a while for the data from all
your wearable devices to be integrated because of the different data sync times
between each wearable device and your phone. As a result, the measurement
data you may find between the Samsung Health app on your phone and your
Watch may temporarily not match.
•
The order in which features appear in the Samsung Health app may change
depending on your set interests.

When you start to measure your step count, the step tracker monitors your steps
and shows your step count after a brief delay because your Watch accurately
recognizes your movement after you walk for a while. Also, for an accurate step
count, you may experience a brief delay before the notification indicates that a
certain goal has been reached and this notification will appear only when using
the Samsung Health app after downloading and installing the app.
•
If you use the steps tracker while travelling by car or train, vibration may affect
your step count.
•
One floor is calculated as approximately 3 metres. The floors measured may not
match the actual floors you climb.
•
The floors measured may not be accurate depending on the environment, your
movements, and the conditions of buildings.
•
The floors measured may not be accurate if water (shower and water activity)
or foreign materials enter the atmospheric pressure sensor. If there is any
detergent, sweat, or raindrops on the Watch, rinse it with clean water and dry the
Watch, including the atmospheric pressure sensor thoroughly before use.

Measuring the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
during sleep
The advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are chemicals produced by combining
proteins or lipids in the body with sugar. It accumulates in most parts of the body,
including blood vessels, organs, joints, and retinas, causing aging and chronic diseases.
Also, high-sugar diets and bad lifestyles (such as smoking, lack of exercise, lack of sleep)
can accelerate AGEs production and accumulation. Recent studies have shown that
AGEs index slowly changes over 6 months, but higher index is associated with premature
aging and chronic disease. Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 can measure AGEs
index accumulated on the skin through advanced optical bio-signal sensor. Check your
AGEs index by measuring it when you sleep.
•
This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not
use it for medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or
prevention of disease. Make sure to consult your physician for more information
about your medical condition.
•
Do not use a wrist that has skin problems or open wounds when measuring your
AGEs index.
•
The Galaxy Watch uses light sensors that operate within the limits set by safety
regulations. However, individuals with photosensitive skin may have adverse
reactions to light, such as skin discolouration or rashes. Do not measure your
AGEs index if you have any symptoms of photosensitivity.
Apps and features
75
•
Cosmetics that contain the photosensitizing ingredients may make your skin
sensitive to Ultraviolet (UV) rays. Do not measure your AGEs index if you use
cosmetics that contain the following ingredients:
‒
Retinoids (for example, retinol or tretinoin)
‒
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
‒
Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)
‒
Some essential oils (for example, citrus oil)
‒
Some medications and herbal extracts
Be aware of following conditions before measuring your AGEs index during sleep:
You can get more accurate AGEs index results when you go to bed with your Watch on if
you follow the following measurement conditions:
•
Make sure your wrist with the Watch on is dry and clean.
•
Make sure the sensors on the back of your Watch are clean.
•
The optical bio-signal sensor may be affected by tattoos, scars, and hair on the wrist.
Consider wearing your Watch in a place without these interferences or on your other

Body composition
Measure your body composition, such as your skeletal muscle mass or fat mass.
•
This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not
use it for medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or
prevention of disease.
•
If you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, or if any other
electronic device is inside of your body, do not measure your body composition.
•
A low electric current goes through your body when measuring your body
composition. Although it is harmless to humans, do not measure your body
composition if you are pregnant.
Apps and features
78
•
For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above
the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements for more
information.
•
For accurate body composition measurements, you must enter your actual
height, weight, and gender on the Samsung Health app profile of the connected
phone, and also enter your actual birthday on your Samsung account. If the
measured body composition results are inaccurate, check your user profile in the
Samsung Health app on the phone and modify it.
•
Unlike professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which
has to be worn your wrist, measures the upper body’s composition and estimates
your entire body’s composition to provide the results.
Therefore, the measured body composition results may be inaccurate in the
following cases:
‒
When your upper and lower body’s composition is too unbalanced
‒
When you are extremely obese
‒
When you are very muscular
•
The Watch uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method when
measuring body composition, which has more than 98% correlation compared
to the Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method, which is regarded as the
golden standard.

•
Stay still and do not speak once you start measuring your blood pressure, and do
not move or speak until the measurement is complete.
•
Do not measure your blood pressure when you are in close vicinity of machines
that produce strong magnetic fields, such as MRIs (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging), X-ray machines, electromagnetic anti-theft systems, or metal
detectors.
•
Do not measure your blood pressure during medical treatments, such as
operations or defibrillation.
•
Measure your blood pressure in an environment where the temperature is
between 12 °C to 40 °C, and the relative humidity is between 30% to 90%.
•
Avoid consuming alcohol or food that includes caffeine, smoking, exercising, or
taking a bath 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.

•
This device is water and dust resistant, and meets the following international
standards.
‒
5ATM water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging
the device in 50 m of fresh water for 10 minutes, leaving it still, without any
movement, to meet the requirements of ISO 22810:2010.
‒
IPX8 water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging
the device in 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes, leaving it still, without any
movement, to meet the requirements of IEC 60529.
‒
IP6X dust resistance classification certification: Was tested to meet the
requirements of IEC 60529.
•
You can use this device when you are exercising, washing your hands or on a rainy
day.
•
You can use this device when you are swimming in a pool or the sea where the water
level is not deep.
•
The water resistance of your Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish over
time because of normal wear and tear, depending on the usage environment or
conditions. It is recommended to have your Galaxy device’s water resistance tested
once a year at a Samsung Service Centre or an authorized service centre.
•
You must follow these guidelines to maintain the water and dust resistance of your
device.
‒
After swimming, and before the pool water or seawater has dried, rinse the device
with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its
water resistance. The water resistance may be affected by the disinfectants in
swimming pool water or the salt in seawater.
‒
If the device gets wet with liquid other than fresh water, such as coffee, drinks,
soapy water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, or chemical products like
cosmetics, rinse the device with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft,
clean cloth to maintain its water resistance.
Usage notices

Do not stay submerged underwater, go snorkeling, diving or scuba diving, or play
water sports like water-skiing or surfing, and do not swim in fast-moving water,
such as a river, while wearing your device. Also, do not expose it to high-pressure
cleaning machines or similar things. This would result in a dramatic rise in water
pressure which could cause the water resistance guaranteed by our company to
change.
‒
If the device is hit or damaged, its water and dust resistance may be
compromised.
‒
Do not disassemble your device without proper guidance.
‒
If you dry your device with a machine that gives off hot air, like a hair dryer, or if
you use your device in a hot environment like a sauna, the water resistance could
be damaged from a dramatic change in the air or water temperature.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the
user of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested
at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of
a device can be substantially less than the level reported to ISED (Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada). This is because of a variety of factors including
its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SAR values
do not represent a variation in safety.
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not
mean variations in safety.
SAR values at or below the federal standard limit are considered safe for use by the
public. The federal standard limits are 4.0 W/ kg (10g) of extremity SAR and 1.6W/kg
(1g) of Head/Wrist SAR. The extremity SAR (wrist SAR) has been used for non-speaker
modes at a 0 cm device distance from the body when worn in contact with the wrist.
Additionally, for voice activated transmission, the front of this device has been tested
when worn on the wrist and positioned a minimum of 1.0 cm from the head.
If your device supports the wireless power sharing function, this equipment should be
operated with a minimum distance of 10cm between the device and your body.
If Wireless charger is supported, the wireless charger complies with ISED Radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its
antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance
of 10 cm between the radiator and your body.
