Galaxy Watch 6 Can't Get Rid of Emergency Call Notification

[Lobonca]

I left my Galaxy Watch 6 on the charger overnight and it has an "Emergency Call" notification. How can I get rid of it? Rebooting the phone didn't work. Watch is totally useless. I want my watch face back.

I had this problem today. I solved it by going into Galaxy Wearable on the phone and changing the watch face to the one I typically use.

My Galaxy Watch 5 (FL5E) Model SM-R900 is stuck in "SOS Emergency Call Mode". It is not connected to any cellphone service, I cannot get it to show the normal watch face. What steps do I have to take on my phone or watch to get it to work?

Will the watch power off? If so power it off for a little while, then power it back on to see if you regain control of it. Hope you get your issue resolved.

Tried to get it out and can't. Did this last night when it said it got too hot and hasn't shown me my main screen. What do I do?

YOU ARE MY HERO! 25 minutes googling and messing with various settings to no avail, before finding this answer. Less then 2 minutes later, my problem was solved. YOU ROCK!

Mine did the same thing. Got hot and now it's stuck on emergency sos. Did you find a solution? Mine has been stuck for weeks now.

Hi there, I faced the same problem with the screen freeze with emergency call. This is my method to resolve the issue. Make sure your galaxy watch is connected to your phone then via wearable app, select the watch face that you want. Once the watch face is selected, your watch will go back to normal. I assume this is a bug that stuck the watch at emergency screen once it reached low battery threshold.

thank you!

This SOS screen bug happened to me today.  I fixed it using the method described above to switch watch faces via the Wear app on the connected phone; I selected another face and then went right back to my normal choice.

It occurred at some point after I selected to update both the Samsung Health and Samsung Health Monitor apps.  Not sure if one or both of those was the cause, but that's the only thing of note.  I did not have a low battery or anything, in fact, I had pulled it off the charger at some point prior to this, with about 75%.
