Ways to install apps on a Galaxy Watch

Samsung Galawy Watch

Samsung offers two different ways to install applications on its ‘smartwatches’: through the store on the watch or from the store installed in the mobile application. In addition, there is also the option of uploading apps directly to the clock, as happens in Android with APKs. It is not recommended as it is unsafe. And the Galaxy Store has a vast catalog.

 

  • Looking at the watch itself . Once the ‘smartwatch’ is connected, and as long as the mobile has an Internet connection (or the Galaxy Watch is connected directly to WiFi or a mobile network), you can access the Galaxy Store within the applications installed on the watch. Click on the lower right button and navigate through the interface until you find the Galaxy Store.
  • From the mobile application . It is the most comfortable since the Galaxy Store is much better adapted to mobile screens than to those of the clock. From the phone app, access the Galaxy Store by clicking on the lower menu buttons (‘Watch faces’ and ‘Discover’).

The Galaxy Store has a search bar from which to locate applications. In addition, Samsung chooses different featured categories, also apps. And it offers a huge selection of watch faces or ‘watchfaces’ , it is the most common type of application in the Galaxy Store for watches. Average quality is fair; without making the trip in search of new apps worth it.
