Is your Samsung Galaxy Watch constantly disconnecting? That can be frustrating. But don’t worry! This guide will help you understand why it happens and how to fix it.
Why Does Your Galaxy Watch Keep Disconnecting?
There are many reasons why your watch keeps losing connection. Here are the most common ones:
- Bluetooth Issues: Something might be interfering with the Bluetooth signal.
- Software Glitches: Bugs in your phone’s or watch’s software.
- Out of Range: Your watch might be too far from your phone.
- Battery Saver Mode: If enabled, it might turn off Bluetooth to save power.

How to Fix Your Galaxy Watch Connection Problems
Here are some simple solutions to get your watch connected again.
1. Check Bluetooth Connection
First, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on both your phone and watch.
- Go to your phone’s Settings.
- Tap on Connections and then Bluetooth.
- Check if your watch is listed and connected.
If it’s not connected, try turning Bluetooth off and on again.
2. Restart Your Watch and Phone
A quick restart can fix most connection issues.
- Press and hold the Power Button on your watch.
- Tap Power Off and wait a few seconds.
- Turn it back on and do the same with your phone.
3. Keep Your Devices Close
Bluetooth has a limited range. If you go too far from your phone, the connection will drop. Keep your watch and phone within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other.

Power-saving features can sometimes disable Bluetooth.

Outdated software can cause connectivity problems. Make sure both your phone and watch are updated.
- On your phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app.
- Go to Watch Software Update.
- Tap on Download and Install.
Do the same on your phone by going to Settings > Software Update.
6. Reset Network Settings
If nothing else works, resetting network settings might help.
- Go to your phone’s Settings.
- Tap General Management.
- Select Reset and then Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will remove all saved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.
7. Factory Reset Your Watch
If all else fails, a factory reset might be the only solution.
- Go to Settings on your watch.
- Tap General, then Reset.
- Confirm and wait for the reset to complete.
After the reset, pair your watch with the phone again like it’s new.
