  2. Connect Your Samsung Watch
    After successfully installing the Galaxy Wearable app, ensure your Samsung watch is showing as connected within the app.

  3. Set Up in the FitOn App
    Open the FitOn app, go to Profile -> Settings, and click the Samsung icon. Tap on Connect, and grant the necessary permissions on the pop-up screen by selecting “Allow.”

  4. Download the FitOn App on Your Watch
    After allowing permissions, another pop-up will appear prompting you to navigate to the Galaxy Store to download the FitOn app on your Samsung watch. Note: This feature is only supported in the U.S.; if you’re outside the U.S., you will see a message indicating the content is not supported in your region.

  5. Complete the Connection Process
    Once the FitOn app is installed on your watch, go back to the FitOn app on your phone. Under Settings -> Samsung, tap the Connect button again to finish the setup. This will launch the FitOn app on your watch, display your heart rate, and update the connection status on the Samsung icon in the settings menu.
