If they gave you a new device to help you know your blood pressure or measure your times when you go running and you want to know how to link your smartwatch to your cell phone, here we help you. It is important to remember that before doing any synchronization, make sure that your smartwatch is fully charged.
Now, to perform this task and start enjoying your new smart watch, you only need to perform the following actions.
- Connect your Smartwatch through the application to link your smartwatch to your cell phone
- Setup with Bluetooth
- Make sure you have Bluetooth enabled on both devices: your watch and your phone. This connection is essential, since the device will be linked to the phone through this system.
- Smartwatch pairing
- On your smartwatch, select “Search”.
- This will display the name of your smartwatch on the phone screen.
- Click “Link” to start the process.

Depending on your model, it may not be compatible with this method to link your smartwatch to your cell phone. If you use an ASUS, Huawei, Fossil, LG, Moto, TAG Heuer watch, among others, you can synchronize it with this application without problems.
In other cases, such as Samsung, before you could only connect between brand devices, but now you can link your smartwatch to your Galaxy terminal using Android Wear. This allows you to control Gear S3, Gear S2, Gear Fit2, and Gear Icon X.
Some Huawei smartwatch models, such as the Huawei Watch and Huawei Fit, can be synced using the Android Wear app. Make sure your model is supported before proceeding.
Why can’t I connect my smartwatch to my cell phone?
If you have already verified your compatibility, and you still cannot link your smartwatch to your cell phone, here are some important clues to solve your problem:
- Check the Connection:
- If the connection fails, check the Bluetooth menu on your phone.
- If you see the smartwatch in the list of devices, remove it.
- Then open the Wear OS by Google app and repeat the pairing process.
- Bluetooth and Software Verification:
- Confirm that your phone’s Bluetooth is turned on and that your smartwatch is paired with your device.
- Check your phone’s software version in settings to make sure it’s compatible with your smartwatch.
- If the software is outdated, update it to achieve proper synchronization.
- Swipe down from the top of the watch face, tap “Settings,” then “System” at the bottom of the menu, and select “About” and “System updates.” If the system is not up to date, you will be able to download the latest software at that time.
You can also have problems receiving notifications on your smartwatch after pairing your cell phone with it, if that is your case, we will help you here. Check that the Wear OS by Google app is always open. Closing the app will disconnect the watch and prevent notifications from coming through.
When you’re connected, you’ll see a message saying “Connected” in the app. If “Disconnected” appears, swipe up on the watch face and tap the circle to reboot on the “Reconnect” card. By following these steps, you can fix pairing and notification issues by pairing your watch with your phone for a seamless, connected experience.
