Strange. Apparently it didn't completely "factory reset" (because then it wouldn't know which network to connect to). When "Recovery" is executed on a previous models, it brings up the welcome screen.

Until then, you can avoid going to settings if you put both fligth mode and WiFi connection as shortcut. (First activate fligth mode, then turn on WiFi). If you want just a one time Wifi just put it in automatic mode.)

I don't know why it changed for you. Did you perform a Reset? Anyway, the widget is called "Apps Shortcut". You can add several of those. By default the widget shows shortcuts to frequently used apps but you can make permanent links to apps (long press to open edit mode). The dots in the middle is just a shortcut to the Apps Drawer (same as HOME button from the watch face).

It would be good if also the DnD mode would work as described in the user's manual (with the different levels of disabling Alarms, AOD and WakeUpGesture): • Do not disturb: Set the Galaxy Watch not to vibrate when receiving calls or notifications except for alarms. • Theatre mode: Activate theatre mode for watching movies. The screen will remain off, the sound will be muted, and the wake-up gesture feature and watch always on feature will be deactivated automatically. • Goodnight mode: Activate goodnight mode for sleeping. All sounds, except for the touch sounds and alarms, will be muted and the wake-up gesture feature and watch always on feature will be deactivated automatically.

I don't use it but Spotify is listed in Galaxy Store. Use Galaxy Wearable app on your phone to open Galaxy Store.

The suggestion from LongHiker stops notifications. If it is an Alarm, synched from phone or set on the watch, (in the Watch Alarm app) there is a "third" setting page for each alarm where sound and or vibration can be selected. (My watch does not sync alarms between my, non-Samsung, phone and the watch so I don't know if maybe synched alarms behave differently but I have set a wake-up alarm on my Galaxy Watch with sound only that works while charging.)

@Samsung_R8dCbae There is no "water Proof mode" to activate. You are probably thinking of the "Water LOCK Mode" which only has to do with the display touch function and speaker. Not improving the water seal. Look it up in the User Manual.

On my Galaxy Watch this function is already built in. Settings/Connections scroll down to "Alarm". When it looses bluetooth connection it gives me a vibration and a symbol on the On-screen.

I'm guessing that your phone (like mine) cannot have 2 "hands free" devices connected at the same time. My work-around is to disable the "telephone talking" feature of the watch. This is done in the Bluetooth menu on the phone, in the settings for the link to the watch. Now my car connects automatically as handsfree device and my watch stays connected for notifications.

I think the question boils down to if you with iOS version of the Wearables App can send a photo to your Galaxy Watch Gallery. I don't have an iPhone so I don't know the answer. Someone here should know. If you can send a picture, then you would use the "My Photo+" standard watchface to select that picture using Customise and tapping on Add photo.

I use the Reminder app (Galaxy Store) on my Galaxy Watch. I ususally use voice to create the reminder. It is possible that it is due to my phone beeing a Sony, but the reminders are local to my watch (does not show or alert on my phone).

Well, a selling point for me with the "Galaxy Watch" (original) is the physical rotating bezel. I havent tried the simulated one on active 2 but from reviews it seems not as responsive and also seems to have lower resolution. (GW 42mm has 15°/click). I also would miss the "5 minute" markings around the bezel. Altough thinner and lighter as Active 2 is on the plus side.

Don't know if all activities has this setting but instead of starting the activity (in the widget), press settings and then scroll down to see the "Autom. paus" Enable/Disable.

Due to forum problems (I guess with long threads that gives the "unable to ..") I answer " Stubbie1960"
with a follow up to the first post. Hope this is OK.
Anyway, the workaround I use to let my phone automatically connect to my car (bluetooth handsfree) I enter Bluetooth settings in my phone, open settings for the Galaxy Watch and disable the call audio for the watch. (I can live without taking calls through the watch but in my car handsfree is essential.)

The DND schedual setting is available under Settings / Advanced / Do Not Disturb. Are you saying that the schedule setting is OFF?

I don't know about [not checked on the phone] but you can set reminders on the watch if you haven't displayed the notification on the watch. The setting (at least in firmware prior to One UI) is under Accessibility / Notification Reminder. (I have similar reminder settings in certain apps on my phone that would do precicely what you ask for but I don't know of a general reminder setting.)

Then let me help you. I can agree that there could have been a global setting but start with:
Healt/scroll down to Settings/ to turn off:
*Workout detection. * Inactive time alerts.
I'm not sure but I think you also need to:
In Health app click on the bellow items /the 3 dots/ Settings/Turn off Notifications:
* Step Counter
* Floors
* Sleep
Another way could be to disable the Health app Permissions to use Sensors. You find it under the Watch Settings/Apps/Permissions.
(I don't know if that will give you any adverse effects.)

Go through the settings in "Samsung Health" on the watch and turn them off.

I use the Samsung Alarm App.
1) Don't know if I understand you but I enable/disable an existing (weekly) alarm by clicking the alarm clock icon in the list of alarms. When the symbol is blue it is enabled. When the symbol is grey it is disabled. They can also be enabled/disabled by Bixby voice commands.
2) I have good use of the local alarm function in the watch that does not sync with my mobile.

@userHg2ITrIUcW. I had the same problem in my car. I have no use for taking calls through the watch speaker so I have solved it by going into the PHONE bluetooth settings for the watch and disable the voice/call capability. Now the car connects automatically again.

@Lagertha75
I have the same observation that the AOD turns off. Seems to be related to detecting "sleep" but happens also at "inactivity" like working on a computer.
It also happens that the security lock activates and requires the PIN-code.
This is on a Galaxy Watch with updated firmware. Samsung Service centre could not find what causes this, so I bougth a new one which still runs the original firmware (tizen 4.0.0.0 etc). That watch does not does not turn off AOD and does not (regularily) activate security lock while I wear it (altough it happened twice after actual sleep during the 2 months I have used it). So either there is a difference between these two individual whatches, or the newer firmware (Tizen 4.0.01 etc) behaves differently.
Anybody else with similar observations?
