How can I charge my Samsung watch if I lost the charger?

Answered by Willian Lymon

If you have lost the charger for your Samsung watch, don’t worry! You can still charge your watch using a feature called Wireless PowerShare, available on Samsung phones. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to charge your Samsung watch using Wireless PowerShare:

1. Open Quick Settings: Swipe down from the top of your Samsung phone’s screen to open the Quick Settings panel. This can vary slightly depending on the model of your phone.

2. Enable Wireless PowerShare: Look for the Wireless PowerShare tile, which looks like a battery with an arrow pointing to another device. It might be under a second page of tiles, so you might need to scroll horizontally to find it. Tap on the Wireless PowerShare tile to turn it on.

3. Place your phone face down: Find a flat surface, such as a table, and place your Samsung phone on it with the screen facing down. This is important as Wireless PowerShare requires the phone’s back panel to be in contact with the charging surface.

4. Position your Galaxy Watch 4: Take your Galaxy Watch 4 and place it in the center of the phone’s back panel. Ensure that the watch is aligned properly and in direct contact with the phone’s surface.

5. Charging begins: Once your watch is placed correctly on the phone, the charging process should start automatically. You may see a charging animation or notification on your phone’s screen indicating that it is actively charging your watch.

It’s important to note that Wireless PowerShare may not be as fast as using a dedicated charger, and the charging speed may vary depending on the phone model and battery levels. Additionally, make sure that your phone has sufficient battery power to support Wireless PowerShare without draining its own battery too quickly.

If you don’t have access to a Samsung phone with Wireless PowerShare or if it’s not working for any reason, you can consider alternative charging options. Some suggestions include:

1. Purchase a new charger: Contact Samsung or visit their official website to purchase a replacement charger specific to your Galaxy Watch model.

2. Use a wireless charging pad: If you have a wireless charging pad that supports the Qi wireless charging standard, you can place your Galaxy Watch on the pad to charge it.

3. Borrow a charger: If you have a friend or family member with a Samsung watch charger, you can ask to borrow it temporarily until you can replace yours.

4. Visit a Samsung service center: If none of the above options are feasible, consider visiting an authorized Samsung service center. They may be able to assist you in charging your watch or provide a replacement charger.

Remember, it’s always a good idea to keep your charger in a safe place to avoid losing it in the future.
