Samsung Galaxy Watch: Bezel ring becoming harder to turn.

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 08:23:28 -0700

My turning ring is gaining more and more stiffness and or friction. My assumption is dirt, grit. No more lubrication. Can you service the turning ring without disassembling the entire watch?

Samsung Galaxy Watch: What charger could I get for my galaxy smartwatch?

Thu, 16 May 2024 23:23:23 -0700

I got a galaxy smartwatch (Tizen one) but it didn't come with a charger - since it was a reseller. So I'm needing to get one. All of the ones I've seen in stores are wireless. I was wondering if maybe there could be a cheaper one I could get like maybe from AliExpress. I've seen ones there that say for Samsung Galaxy watchs (and also "original charger for Samsung Galaxy watch" - that is if I find one in stock) but then some reviews say they don't work for them. Also I saw the video ifixit said about not to get wireless chargers although I was only going to use them for my smartwatch and maybe wireless earbuds (since I don't really care about them since they're bad, well I think so since they only have about 2 hours and I have issues with them). Anyways, I was hoping I could get some advice before I buy a charger for it. As of now I only can charge it with my phone using the wireless power share which I don't really want to use that way to spend more time recharging my phone again. (Also sorry but I don't know what exact number my watch is like a galaxy 5 etc so I picked the basic topic for choose device)

Samsung Galaxy Watch: Battery Replacement Instructions Question

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 14:24:56 -0700

I have ordered the 46mm battery, the magnetic project mat, and essential electronics toolkit to replace the battery in my Samsung Galaxy Watch. My question though is about the instructions in the conclusion section of the ifixit replacement instructions. In the conclusion, it says to "secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape". How critical is that? Also does the battery or the kit come with any adhesive strips?

Samsung Galaxy Watch: Attempting to change battery, but the core unit will not budge

Sun, 09 May 2021 18:55:55 -0700

Attempting to remove core unit (step #7) in my Samsung Galaxy Watch to replace the battery. The steps online seem to suggest that the core should just lift out. I have double checked the steps, and have done everything listed. The core will not budge. It is almost as though it is glued. I’m worried to force it too hard for fear that I will permanently damage it. Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have suggestions for getting past this step. Many thanks!

Samsung Galaxy Watch: Is the bezel ring compatible with the ring on Gear S3 Classic?

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 23:52:58 -0700

Maybe a weird question but can the black bezel on Galaxy Watch be replaced with the silver bezel on Gear S3 Classic? They are the same size and based on the pictures in the repair manuals look the same.

I don’t have either of the watches yet but I’m planning to buy the Galaxy Watch and do not like the black bezel.

Maybe somebody have access to those watches and can confirm this.
