YOU CAN EASILY CONNECT YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH ON AN ANDROID DEVICE UNFORTUNATELY, IT CANNOT BE INTEGRATED WITH THE iOS SYSTEM
Important Note – iOS Compatibility
Samsung watches are not officially supported on iOS the same way Apple Watches are. It is not possible to fully pair a Galaxy Watch with an iPhone, which means:
❌ No synchronization with Apple Health
❌ No support for Health Connect on iOS
❌ No connection to Move Republic
📌 In short:
Samsung Galaxy Watches only work with Move Republic within the Android ecosystem.
If you use an iPhone – we recommend a Mi Band, Apple Watch, or another device compatible with Apple Health.
