However, all this is proving to be easier said than done for some users. They have voiced their concern that whenever they are trying to use their Galaxy Watch 4, they are instead being greeted with the ‘This watch isn’t supported on this phone’ error on the Galaxy wearables app. As a result, they are unable to sync their watch with their device.

If you are also currently getting bugged with this error, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround to fix the ‘This watch isn’t supported on this phone’ error with the Galaxy Watch 4.

FIX 4: Pair Once with the Device having Watch’s Firmware
Your last course of action could be to pair your watch at least once to the device that has the same firmware as your watch. For example, if your watch is of a Chinese variant, then you will have to pair it once with a device that is running the Chinese CHC/CNC firmware. Once that is done, you may then be able to pair your watch with the device of any region without any issues.
However, it is no easy task to find a device having the same firmware as that of your watch. But if you are ready to dig a little deep into the technical jargon, then you could change your device’s CSC to the one that your watch has, then flash the watch’s region firmware on your device and finally pair your watch. Once your watch has been paired, you may then revert to the original CSC on your device and pair your watch again, and from now on you wouldn’t face any issues. That’s it. These were the four different methods to fix the ‘This watch isn’t supported on this phone’ error with the Galaxy Watch 4.
