• A:Answer Hello DanFL, great question! Spotify on your watch is a little different from the phone version. When a song is playing, tap the three dots at the bottom to save a song, shuffle a playlist, or adjust the volume. ^Elizabeth

Q: QuestionDoes this work with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9? Can you use Samsung Pay with it because I have been reading that you are not able to use Samsung Pay? Does it drain your phone battery quickly and do you have to take your watch apart when charging?

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - Galaxy Watch Active Smartwatch 40mm Aluminum - Black

• A:Answer I can only address the third question. Yes, it will impact on the battery life of your phone. You install the Samsung health monitoring software on the phone and it then stays in constant bluetooth contact with the watch. Maintaining the connection will use the battery quickly. I just throw the phone on the quick charger at lunch and I'm good to go for the afternoon. As far as charging the watch is concerned, it comes with a wireless charging pad. You just plug the charging pad into an outlet and lay the watch against the pad. it charges very quickly
