Cleaning Your Galaxy Watch Ultra
A clean device not only looks more appealing but also demonstrates good maintenance. Follow these steps to thoroughly clean your Galaxy Watch Ultra:
- Power off your watch and disconnect it from any chargers or accessories.

- Use a soft brush or toothbrush to clean around the watch’s crevices and charging port.
- Dry the device thoroughly with a dry cloth before proceeding to reset.
