  • Dry your skin before putting on your Galaxy Watch/Fit.

  • Tighten the strap enough to keep the device in place and does not slip, but not so tight that it cuts off blood circulation.

  • To avoid skin irritation, remove the device if you have been:

    • Wearing the watch for an extended period of time

The watch band should be adjust so your watch sits comfortably on your wrist. Snug, but not tight or loose.
