Factory resetting your Galaxy Watch 3 is an important step in securing personal information when transferring the device to another person when selling, giving, or trading the watch in. If you don’t factory reset your watch any information can be used by the new owner.
You may also want to complete a factory reset if your Galaxy Watch 3 is not working properly, such as running slow, not loading, not providing notifications, turning on and off, and displaying a black watch face but running in the background. We recommend you complete scheduled back-ups on your Galaxy Watch 3 and other devices so important data is not lost in case of situations where you aren’t able to access or use the device.
When you factory reset the watch all data will be deleted, it is important that you back up all important data prior to the factory reset.
