How to reset the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Ideally, our smartwatches should be able to run all the time without any issues, but that’s not real life. In reality, there are many things that could potentially cause a device to malfunction, freeze up, crash, and so on. This is where resetting a device comes in. If you got your hands on Samsung’s latest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and you want to know how to reset it, then this guide is for you.
Before you reset
There are various reasons why you might want to reset your Galaxy Watch Ultra. Maybe you’re giving it away or selling it off. Or maybe there’s an issue that cannot be fixed by turning it off and back on again. This is where a reset can come in handy. A reset usually puts a device back to its original state when you bought it, so if there are issues like corrupted files, it should, in theory, be resolved this way.
Before you proceed to resetting your smartwatch, you should consider backing it up first. This will prevent data loss since a reset will wipe all your smartwatch’s data. This includes apps that are installed, any photos or media files, and so on. Once you’re done with the backup, you can proceed following the steps below.
