How to Turn Off Your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Published in Smartwatch Power Control 2 mins read

To turn off your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, simply swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the Quick Panel, then tap the power off icon.

Step-by-Step Guide to Powering Off Your Galaxy Watch 4

Turning off your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a straightforward process that can help conserve battery, resolve minor software glitches, or when you're not using the device. Here's a detailed guide:

  1. Access the Quick Panel: From your watch's main screen (the watch face), slide your finger downwards starting from the very top edge of the display. This action opens the Quick Panel, which provides quick access to various settings and notifications.
  2. Locate the Power Off Icon: Within the Quick Panel, look for the power off icon. This universally recognized symbol typically appears as a circle with a vertical line cutting through the top.
  3. Tap to Power Off: Press the power off icon once. Your watch will then present a menu with power-related options, usually including "Power off," "Restart," and "Emergency mode."
  4. Confirm Power Off: Tap "Power off" to completely shut down your device.
  • Tip: If your watch becomes unresponsive or frozen, you can often force a restart by pressing and holding the Home key (the top physical button on the side of your watch) for approximately 7-10 seconds until the Samsung logo appears. This will restart the watch rather than power it off completely.
