Viewing unread messages

Your watch will vibrate to notify you of new messages pushed from the phone status bar.

Unread messages will be kept on your watch. To view them, swipe up on the watch home screen to enter the message center.

 
  • If you haven't activated the eSIM standalone service and your watch is disconnected from the phone, you will not be able to receive or reply to SMS messages or messages on your watch.
