How to Pair Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with Phone

Pairing your Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with your Android phone unlocks all smartwatch features. The process takes about 5 minutes using the Galaxy Wearable app.

Before You Begin​

Requirements:

  • Android 10 or higher phone
  • Galaxy Wearable app (download from Google Play Store)
  • Samsung Health app (for health features)
  • Bluetooth enabled on phone
  • Watch charged to at least 30%

Pairing Steps​

Step 1: Power on your watch by pressing and holding the Home button. New watches automatically enter pairing mode.

Step 2: Open Galaxy Wearable on your phone, tap Start, and grant requested permissions (Location, Bluetooth, Phone, Contacts, Notifications).

Step 3: Select Galaxy Watch 6 Classic when it appears in the list.

Step 4: Verify the 6-digit pairing code matches on both devices, then tap Confirm on both.

Step 5: Sign in to your Samsung and Google accounts when prompted.

Step 6: Wait for initial sync (2-5 minutes). Follow on-screen prompts to configure settings.

Samsung vs Non-Samsung Phones​

With Samsung Galaxy phones: Full feature access including Samsung Pay, SmartThings, Find My Mobile, camera controls, and Samsung Notes sync.

With other Android phones: Core features work fully. Use Google Wallet instead of Samsung Pay. Some Samsung-specific integrations unavailable.

Troubleshooting​

  • Watch not found: Restart both devices, ensure Bluetooth is on, keep devices within 3 feet.

  • Pairing code mismatch: Cancel pairing, forget watch in phone's Bluetooth settings, restart both devices, try again.

  • Connection drops during setup: Charge both devices, disable battery optimization for Galaxy Wearable, stay close during pairing.

  • Still failing: Clear Galaxy Wearable app data (Phone Settings Apps Galaxy Wearable Storage Clear Data), then retry.
