Whether you’re doing laundry, cooking dinner, or enjoying time with the family, a connected Galaxy Watch makes everyday tasks easier at home. Control SmartThings⁵ -connected devices like your lights, thermostats, TVs, and more, directly from your Galaxy Watch. Set timers and reminders while you’re multitasking around the house.
