Galaxy Watch7

[TonyGUK1]

Can I ask, is the galaxy watch 7 compatible with an iPhone?

I have just received the watch so setting it up.

I cant seem to get past the screen on the watch to connect to a pop-up on a phone?

The Galaxy Watch app does detect the new watch but unable to connect to it.

I have an Active 2 watch so I know that works.

Any advice would be appreciated

I believe it is not. They stopped being compatible with iOS from Galaxy Watch 4 I think.

Hey there, Unfortunately the samsung watches arent compatible with IOS devices (abit like how apple watches are locked to IOS). As far as im aware there isnt any way to pair the 2 either. Sorry

thanks for your replies. So there is no way of getting the watch active without a compatible Android phone? All I want is to start wearing the watch, I dont really care about the syncing with iOS

me too, is it possible to link to a laptop to allow watch setup/download apps?

Hi, @TonyGUK1. The Galaxy Watch7 is incompatible with iOS, I'm afraid. Since the Galaxy Watch4, we had introduced a new operating system called 'WatchOS'. This will not allow for iOS devices to be connected, and we'd recommend that you connect the watch to a Samsung device to receive the best experience.  

Kind Regards,

thanks for replying.  It is a shame, I look the watch but I am (like others I guess) too invested in apple with phone and earpods.  

If the Watch7 could act like a fitness watch with blood pressure/ecg I might be happy enough.
