I don't why. But I can no longer connect to any of my Galaxy watches. When I do try i am asked to reset my watches. I cannot get it to connect. I tried doing the tranfer to new phone method. To keep my watch data intact. But it will not work. This is so annoying. Whatever samsung changed. Has messed up all of my watches. Now I have to delete all my data for each one. Which is a hassle. If samsung can't maintain a product without inadvertently breaking it. I will stop buying them. If anyone has a idea on how I can fix my watch connection issue. It would be much appreciated thanks in advance.
Normally, when you connect a watch to a new phone, the watch backs up to the phone, resets, and restores once connected. This usually happens with anything before the Watch 4. Which watch(es) are you trying to connect to which phone? If you are trying to connect a Tizen based watch to one of the newer phones, it probably won't work, as support for Tizen has been discontinued.
Hello, yeah, I have three watches. Two, watch 7 classics of different sizes. I also have the ultra. All three lost connections to my phone a 24 ultra. All three were paired to this phone since they were purchased. I still don't know why they all suddenly decided to stop connecting. I caved a reset one, and it connects again. I am holding out on the other two. Because my backup stopped working, and if I reset. the apps and watch faces I have for each, I will lose. Not including my wallet. Which I will have to pain staking and have to be manual redo again. So yeah, it's very frustrating.
What phone are you using? If it's not a Samsung phone, that could be the issue. Ideally, they should mostly work with non Samsung phones with the exception of the Samsung proprietary apps like the health monitor app. There are tons of articles on reddit about issues with non Samsung phones and Samsung watches. As realaud mentioned, the watch does a backup, and you can restore instead of doing the transfer to new phone. Also, be sure to connect to your watch via the wear app and not by pairing in your phones settings. How many watches are you attempting to set up on one phone? I had a backup of my watch 6 that ended up being restored to my watch ultra when I upgraded, so you will want to be mindful of that if you are using more than one watch. You can have more than one watch set up on your wear app, but the app will only use one watch at a time.
