Hate switching your smartwatch to a new phone? It's about to get so much easier - if you're a Samsung user
available, must unpair and reset their watches when syncing their wearable to a new phone. This process completely wipes all your favorite apps and records from the watch, meaning you have to re-download your apps and start all over again. This is obviously frustrating, as it adds a good deal of time and effort to the process of setting up a new device., will allow you to keep your watch as-is when swapping it over.
This is going to be a very useful feature for people who get a new phone every couple of years while keeping the same watch, but also for those who have phones for both work and personal use. Being able to jump seamlessly between devices will make the watch eminently more usable, and because Samsung’s latest OS is based on the announced-yet-unreleased Wear OS 4, we can extrapolate that it’s likely WearOS 4 will offer this feature as well.
A big advantage of both Wear OS and Android has always been their flexibility. Apple products require other Apple products in order to operate at their best within a rigid structure, but Android users have always been able to hack, customize and make granular choices about their devices to ensure they better fit their needs.
While that’s slowly changing as Google and Samsung lock features away unless you have a matching Pixel or Samsung phone, the ability to switch between devices means Wear OS users would suddenly have a lot of flexibility when it comes to trying and using their watch with different phones. We’re certainly hoping this isn’t a Samsung-only feature, and we look forward to testing it out when One UI Watch 5 is released, presumably alongside theToday's best Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro deals
