If you don’t have your wireless portable charger and need to charge your Galaxy Watch, you can use your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone. It is a convenient and simple solution to keep your Galaxy Watch from turning off due to no battery life. It charges at the same speed as your other chargers so there are no long delays in getting it charged.
Does Samsung Galaxy Note 20 PowerShare?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G and the Note 20 5G have the feature PowerShare. This makes it possible to charge your Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, and other smartphones that are Qi-compatible using your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G.
How to Wireless Charge a Galaxy Watch Using a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G
- Swipe Down on the Home Screen
- Swipe Down on the Notification Panel
- Select Wireless PowerShare
- Directions will be Displayed
- Move Watch to Center of the Phone to Charge

- Charging
- You will see a lighting bolt and message “Perfect Charging will begin.” This lets you know you have placed it in the correct position on the back of your phone.
This will also work on any Samsung Galaxy Phone that has the Wireless Power Share feature.
Can Note 20 Charge Wirelessly?
Yes, the note 20 can charge wirelessly using a Samsung-compatible wireless charging pad or stand. You will want to purchase a charging device that supports fast charging for a quicker charge. You can also use another Samsung Smartphone that has PowerShare turned on to charge your Note 20 wirelessly.
Can You Charge a Galaxy Watch with a Samsung Phone?
This depends on the model of your Samsung phone. Not all Samsung smartphones have the powershare feature needed to charge your Galaxy Watch. Most of the newer Galaxy Series phones offer this feature but you will want to double-check before purchasing if this is something you want when purchasing your phone.
Summary
If you are using your Galaxy Watch more and have run the battery down but don’t have your charger, using your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone to charge and keep using your watch is a neat little feature. If you have a thick protective case it may not charge. If this happens you will need to remove either the phone’s or watch’s protective case or both.
Because this may be a bit of pain, we do recommend you have an extra portable charger for your Galaxy Watch and use it as a backup when one is not available.
