Switch your Samsung Galaxy Watch to a new Samsung Device for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2
Switch your Samsung Galaxy Watch to a new Samsung Device
If you want to use a new Samsung device with your Samsung Galaxy Watch, you can transfer your Samsung Galaxy Watch and its contents to a new Samsung device.
- Update your old Samsung device
Before you switch your Samsung Galaxy Watch from your old Samsung device to a new Samsung device, update your old Samsung device to the latest software version.
If you already erased your old Samsung device or no longer have it, you should erase your Samsung Galaxy Watch, then pair it with your new Samsung device. If you�re asked to restore from a watch backup, select the most recent backup. You will lose Activity, Workouts, or settings on your watch that changed between the last backup and now.
Without an Samsung device backup, you�ll need to set up your Samsung Galaxy Watch as new. You will lose any previous Activity, Workouts, or settings, but your other content will sync from the new Samsung device to your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
