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.

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 for reaching out. I can certainly understand your concern with your watch being unable to get rid of the Emergency call notification and would be happy to look into this further for you. In order to provide you with the most accurate assistance, do you also have this notification on your phone?

Getting only emergency screen on my Galaxy Watch 6. Yes it is LTE.

-- emergency only screen can't be cleared
-- Watch has been reset, does not clear emergency
-- no emergency notice on phone (S23 ULTRA)

@Evagrius Do you have a service plan for the watch through your carrier? It sounds like it isn't being verified with the carrier.

I've read about this problem being common on earlier galaxy watches, independent of carrier issues. The same remedies do not apply here, including checking with the carrier. At least from what I've found.

Regardless, yes I've verified everything with my carrier at the store. This is a Samsung issue.
