Erencan YılmazOwners of the Google Pixel 10 series are currently facing significant challenges when attempting to pair their devices with Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watches. Despite expectations of seamless compatibility between two leading Android brands, reports across multiple online platforms, including Reddit, Google’s support forum, and Samsung’s community pages, highlight persistent issues during the pairing process.,
Google Pixel 10 series and Galaxy Watch series are experiencing connectivity issues
Specifically, users encounter failures at the PIN code verification step, often receiving error messages such as “incorrect PIN.” In those rare cases where initial pairing succeeds, the connection’s stability remains problematic. Users report frequent disconnections, forcing the watch to rely on Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, which in turn causes accelerated battery drain.
Notably, these concerns appear isolated to the Pixel 10 series; Galaxy Watches continue to function normally with other manufacturers’ devices, such as Samsung and OnePlus phones. The timing of the issue suggests a possible link to a recent major software update on the Pixel 10, with speculation focusing on a potential bug related to Bluetooth protocol changes.
Google has formally acknowledged the problem, with a company representative confirming that the technical team is actively investigating and will provide updates as soon as a solution is identified. In the meantime, standard troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling the Galaxy Wearable app and performing device resets, have delivered inconsistent results.
Given the current situation, prospective buyers are advised to delay purchasing a Pixel 10 and Galaxy Watch combination until an official fix is released. Both Google and Samsung are expected to prioritize a resolution, but for now, users should be aware of the compatibility risks involved.
