Watch 6 and note 8

[John177]

I cannot register my watch 6 on my note 8.

The note 8 has android 9. Is it too old?

Must I root my phone to a newer version of android?

Hi!

You need to have a phone running Android 10 or newer to be able to connect the watch.

I have the same problem with my A5 (2017).
It's running on Android 8. According to the page, Watch 6 works with Android 5+...
A new phone is on the way ... still.

It should be possible to make a watch configuration without an app. Especially if the shop is stating false information.

Hi!

Could you link to the page where you found it said it supports Android 5+? Only managed to find that it supports Android 10+.

Galaxy watch 3 and down are compatible with android 5+ but galaxy watch 4 needs android 6+ and galaxy watch 5 needs android 8+ and galaxy watch 6 probably needs android 10+ or higher.
