ByJim Miller

Are you tired of your Samsung Galaxy Watch constantly syncing with your phone? Do you want to disconnect it temporarily or permanently? Whether you're looking to stop notifications temporarily or give away your watch to someone else, there are several methods to unpair or disconnect your Samsung Galaxy Watch from your phone. In this article, we will explore seven easy ways to achieve this. Let's get started!

Disconnect Samsung Galaxy Watch Temporarily From Phone

When you disconnect your watch temporarily from your phone, it simply turns off notifications and stops syncing the watch to your phone. You won't lose any data, and you can easily connect them back without resetting the watch. Here are three methods to disconnect your Samsung Galaxy Watch temporarily:

1. Turn off Bluetooth on Your Phone

One of the easiest ways to stop syncing your Samsung Galaxy Watch to your phone is to turn off the Bluetooth on your phone. Simply swipe down twice from the notification panel to open Quick Settings on your phone. Tap on the Bluetooth tile to turn it off. To connect the watch again, turn on Bluetooth on your phone.

2. Turn off Bluetooth on Your Watch

A better approach to temporarily disconnect the watch is to turn off Bluetooth directly on your Samsung Galaxy Watch. This will only disconnect the watch from your phone without affecting other connected Bluetooth devices. Here's how:

  1. Open Settings on your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
  2. Go to Connections > Bluetooth.
  3. Turn off the toggle next to Bluetooth.

To connect again, repeat the steps to enable Bluetooth on your watch.

3. Use the Wearable App

Another way to disconnect the watch temporarily is to use the disconnect feature in the Galaxy Wearable app. Here's how:

  1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone.
  2. Tap on the three-bar icon at the top to open the navigation drawer.
  3. Press the Disconnect icon next to your watch.

Your watch will be disconnected temporarily from the phone. To connect back, tap on the Connect button on the app's home screen or press the same icon next to your watch.

Disconnect Samsung Galaxy Watch Permanently From Phone

If you want to permanently disconnect your Samsung Galaxy Watch from your phone, you must unpair or reset it. Here are three methods to achieve this:

1. Reset Using the Wearable App

  1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone.
  2. Tap on Watch settings and go to General.
  3. Tap on Reset and hit the Reset button on the next screen.

Please note that resetting the watch will delete all data from your phone. Make sure to back up the data before resetting the Galaxy watch.

2. Reset Using Galaxy Watch

If you want to unpair the Galaxy watch without your phone, you can reset it from the watch itself. Here's how:

  1. Open Settings on your Galaxy Watch.
  2. Scroll down and go to General.
  3. Scroll down and tap on Reset.
  4. Tap on Back up data in case you haven't created a backup yet. Once a backup has been made, tap on Reset.

3. Reset by Connecting to a New Phone

If you want to connect the watch to a new phone, you can use the Connect to a new phone option in the watch. That will reset the watch and make it available to connect to the second phone. Here's how:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Connect to a new phone on your watch.
  2. Tap on Reset and follow the on-screen instructions to connect the watch to your phone.

4. Unpair Watch Using Bluetooth Settings

  1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
  2. Go to Connections > Bluetooth.
  3. Tap on the Settings icon next to your watch and hit the Unpair icon.
  4. Once unpaired, you must reset the watch to pair it again to the same or a different phone.

And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you can easily disconnect your Samsung Galaxy Watch from your phone, whether it's temporarily or permanently. And, if you're facing problem in backup or reset, you can learn how to safely backup, reset and restore your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
