How Do I Unlock a Samsung Galaxy Watch?
Unlocking a Samsung Galaxy Watch can mean two things: unlocking the device from its network carrier or unlocking the device to access its functions.
Unlock a Samsung Galaxy Watch From the Network Carrier
Samsung Galaxy Watches are not carrier-locked. However, your watch may be administrated by a specific carrier, typically the one to which your smartphone is attached. If you change providers, you’ll need to turn on the Reactivation Lock to connect your Galaxy Watch. If this process worked, your Galaxy Watch should reregister with the carrier network you’re currently using for your smartphone. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to reach out to your carrier or Samsung to have the watch reset using a reset code.
Unlock a Galaxy Watch to Access Its Functions
If you’re just trying to unlock your Samsung Galaxy Watch to access its functions, all you have to do is swipe the screen or press the Home button. If you’ve enabled a PIN or pattern security, you must input the requested information to complete the unlock process. Once you do, you’ll have full access to your Galaxy Watch functions.
How Do I Take the Lock off My Samsung Watch?
If you don’t want to input a PIN or trace a pattern every time you want to access your Galaxy Watch’s functions, you can deactivate this requirement. Afterward, when you lift your arm or swipe your watch face, you’ll go straight to the Watch screen instead of the security lock. Now you can use your Watch without using the PIN code or Pattern Lock each time you want to access one of its functions.
