​

Due to restrictions Samsung Watches connected iPhones are not supported.

Tips

Turn on Gear Lock! This will help secure the stuff on your watch. If you are using Samsung Pay this will already be turned on for at least Samsung Pay. I suggest changing it to work for screen and payments.

​

1. Go to your Settings

2. Security

3. Gear Lock

4. Use for

5. Select "Screen and Payments".

​

For me at least this made Samsung Pay more convenient because it meant putting in my PIN when I put my watch on instead of while waiting in line at the grocery store.

​

Known Issues​

• There is a limit of a total of 20 locks.

• The Wink account information expires if the app has not been launched in a little over a month.​ This gives an "Access Denied" error when trying to lock/unlock a lock. Launching the app may update access to your Wink account. 

​

Troubleshooting

​

If you receive an "Access Denied" error when controlling a lock, from a widget and have not launched the app in a while, launch the app and give it a couple of seconds. Click the icon in the center or one of the unlock/lock buttons to see if it works.

​

If you continue to get "Access Denied" errors log out of the app and then log back in.
