Pro Tip: Maximizing Your Watch4 Classic
- The Bezel as a Tool: If you find the screen too small for typing, use the rotating bezel to scroll through the "Handwriting" or "T9" keyboard optionsits much faster than pecking at a tiny QWERTY layout.
- Always-On Display (AOD): If you love the look of a traditional watch, enable AOD. However, to save battery, set the "Wake on Bezel Turn" to ON and "Wake on Wrist Raise" to OFF.
- App Optimization: Go to the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and disable "Auto-update apps" in the Play Store settings. Manually updating apps once a week will prevent unexpected battery drain during the day.
