Galaxy smartwatches are often hailed for their robust fitness tracking features, but there’s much more to them than meets the eye. Whether you own the Watch 6 Classic, the Watch 7, or the Galaxy Watch Ultra, you’ll be surprised by how versatile these wearables can be. Even owners of older models like the Watch 4 or 5 can benefit from some of these hidden gems—especially if they’ve installed the latest One UI 6 Watch (Wear OS 5) update.
Quick Alarm Muting
One of the handiest tricks is the ability to instantly mute alarms or other notifications. This method doesn’t require the new double-pinch gesture; instead, it uses a clever shortcut that’s easy to master and perfect for those hectic moments when you need peace and quiet.
The Action Button (or Lack Thereof)
Depending on your Galaxy Watch model, you may or may not have an action button. In either case, you can customise shortcuts to let you effortlessly access your most-used features. The newer models integrate seamlessly with the phone’s Modes feature, allowing you to switch watch settings automatically based on time or location.
Use It as a PowerPoint Remote
You might be surprised to learn you can control presentations straight from your wrist. Forget about rummaging for a forgotten clicker; your Galaxy Watch can handle slideshows with a simple, built-in option—handy for business meetings or class presentations.
Bonus Features for Daily Use
Beyond these perks, Galaxy smartwatches also offer subtle functionalities that can improve your daily routine. Keep an eye out for new watch faces, deeper health metrics, and tips for aligning your watch settings with your phone’s ecosystem.
As Samsung continues refining Galaxy software and hardware, you can expect even more clever integrations that make your smartwatch the ultimate everyday companion.
