The Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are Samsung\u2019s latest smartwatches and just like with the previous models, they can be a bit of annoyance to set up. That doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re hard to set up, though. Merely a little more convoluted and time consuming than they probably should be. Luckily, we\u2019ve prepared a guide to help walk you through the steps of setting up your brand-new smartwatch.
\nSo if you do need a little assistance, this guide is for you. The Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are running on Wear OS 3 with One UI Watch 4.5 software layered on top. And you might think you need to use the Wear OS app here. But that isn\u2019t the case. Check the steps below to get started and set up your Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
\nHow to set up your Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro<\/p>\n

As we mentioned above, setting up the watch is not hard to do. But if you\u2019ve never used one of the Galaxy Watches before, not to worry. The setup is pretty easy if you know what you\u2019re doing.
\nPower on the watch
\nFirst, start by powering on the watch after you\u2019ve removed it and the charger from the box.
\nConnect the watch to the charger
\nOnce you\u2019ve powered the watch on, we recommend connecting it to the charger for the duration of the setup process. Just in case there\u2019s not a lot of battery on the watch to start with. Which can sometimes be the case. Connecting the watch to the charger is not mandatory though. As Samsung doesn\u2019t require you to do so for the setup to work properly.
\nDownload the Galaxy Wearable app
\nLaunch the Play Store and download the Galaxy Wearable app to your device. Once the app is installed, launch the Galaxy Wearable app.
\nSwipe up on the watch and follow the on-screen prompts
\nAs soon as you power on the watch you should see a \u201cWelcome\u201d message, along with a little arrow that indicates you need to swipe up on the watch display. Swipe up and then follow the on-screen prompt. Which is to continue the process in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone.
\nTap the start button in the app
\nWhen inside the app, tap the start button that should pop up. This will be there if this is your first time using the Galaxy Wearable app. The app will then scan for nearby devices.
\nTap on Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
\nIf the app finds your device, it\u2019ll list them on-screen. Tap on the watch name of the model you purchased.
\nRead the permissions and continue
\nOn the next screen, the app will list off all the permissions that it needs access to for it and the watch to work as intended. Read them over real quick then hit the continue button at the bottom.
\nAccept the pairing request
\nOnce the app begins trying to connect to your watch, it will send a pairing request to connect. You should see a code on the watch screen and will need to make sure that code matches up with the pairing request on your phone. Tap the pair and connect option to allow pairing.
\nCreate or login to a Samsung account
\nIf you already have a Samsung account, it\u2019s at this point you will need to login with your credentials. If you don\u2019t have one yet, create the account to move to the next step.
\nAllow access to the Galaxy Wearable app
\nAllow the Galaxy Wearable app to access and manage your watch. If you tap allow (which you\u2019ll need to do for the process to complete) then you\u2019ll be allowing access to contacts, the ability to make phone calls, send SMS messages and more.
\nAgree to automatic updates and the sending of diagnostic data
\nBoth of these things are optional. We do recommend agreeing to the automatic updates though. This way when your watch has new software to install, it\u2019ll just do so and you\u2019ll never have to worry about it being behind on updates and security. Once you\u2019ve decided, tap continue.
\nRead and agree to the Google terms of service
\nRead through Google\u2019s terms of service on this next page, then tap the checkboxes for the things you want to agree to. Then tap the agree button. The app will then \u201cget your watch ready.\u201d Let this process finish which should only take a minute.
\nSelect the Google account you want to sync
\nNow select the Google account you want to sync to the watch. If you only have one, then it should automatically surface it. If you have more than one, tap on \u201cchoose another account\u201d then select the correct one. Then tap continue to let it sign in. If you have security protocols set up for your Google account, you\u2019ll need to verify to let the watch sync to it.
\nFrom here the app will begin to finish up the setup process and that should take a few minutes. You\u2019ll see on the phone screen when it\u2019s complete. And that\u2019s it! Now all that\u2019s left to do is walk through the tutorial on the watch itself, then start customizing it to your liking and installing any apps you may want to use.
\nWe\u2019d also recommend checking out the \u201cTips\u201d section of the Galaxy Wearable app to get some useful information on using the watch. In fact we recommend poking around the other parts of the app as well.
