How to Backup Your Watch Before Updating
Before installing an update, make a backup of your watch’s software. Your settings and data may be jeopardized if you upgrade a device’s operating system.
1. Go to Account and Backup in the Galaxy Wearable App to find the backup option.
2. Select Back up and restore > Backup Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. You’ll see a list of everything you can back up here. Tap Back up immediately after deselecting anything you don’t want.
How to Update Your Samsung Galaxy Watch
You can only check your watch’s software version through the app on your phone, and you can only update it using the app on your phone. Open the Samsung Wearable app to check for updates.
1. Go to the bottom of the page, tap the Home tab, then scroll down to About watch> Update watch software.
2. Select Download and Install from the drop-down menu.
3. Follow the prompts if you need to install or update something. If you don’t, you’ll be informed that you have the most recent version. Select OK.
4. Toggle the option to Auto download over Wi-Fi in this section. If you don’t want updates to be installed automatically, you can turn this option off. By default, it is turned on.
We recommend that you leave this option turned on because it is always a good idea to have the most recent version of software installed. If you keep this option enabled, updates will be downloaded automatically whenever you’re connected to the internet, ensuring that you’re always running the most recent version of the software.
