Connectivity Issue: Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy S21 5G - Galaxy Wearable app crashes

[Zall3]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and I'm having trouble getting it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G phone via the Galaxy Wearable.

The watch keeps showing a "disconnected" status, and despite trying various troubleshooting steps such as app restarts, reinstallation, cache clearing, and following online guides, the issue persists.

I've even gone as far as performing a factory reset on both devices, but the problem remains. I would greatly appreciate any insights, advice, or solutions that anyone could provide to help resolve this connectivity problem.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hello @Zall3

Have you checked so you have the latest updates on watch and wearble app?

and then a stupid question, do you choose the right model when connecting the watch?

I accidentally choose the wrong model ( Bluetooth) when i have the LTE version and got connection problem with my galaxy watch 4

if the problem persists then I would recommend you to contact https://www.samsung.com/se/support/contact/ to see if they could help you

Thank you for sharing the troubleshooting guide and your experience. It's possible that the issue may be related to the latest update on my phone! 

I will try to connect my Galaxy Watch 6 with my older Samsung Galaxy S9 to determine if the problem is specific to my S21 5G or not.

My watch model with both LTE and Bluetooth capabilities (SM-R945F).

Hi again, I don't know what Android version you have on your s9 but the Galaxy watch 6 requires android 10 or later to work with the device.

Tried with my s9 and it worked perfectly without connection problems. So it's seems that the problem is my s21. And it all started with the lasted update.
