Although Google owns Wear OS, it does not offer services like the Chrome web browser. Luckily, Samsung Internet returned after taking a brief hiatus from the Wear OS platform last year. Wear OS users may now download Samsung’s web browser on their watches via the Play Store.
For Wear OS smartwatches, whether they are Galaxy Watches or produced by other brands, Samsung Internet is accessible. The Samsung internet browser for Wear OS has a QWERTY touchscreen keyboard and a few pre-defined bookmarks to well-known websites like Samsung, Google Search, YouTube, and a few more for quick access. You can import current bookmarks or make your own, so don’t worry. On your Galaxy Watch, follow these instructions to use Samsung Internet.
