In this case you will need to disconnect the belt in the phone settings and connect through the app.

o Make sure your device is connected to your Android phone via the “Galaxy Wearable” application in your smartphone.
o In the Sleeprate application, navigate to the “Sleep Tracking” screen and click on the “Connect Now” button, select the “Samsung Gear” option, then when Sleeprate finds your device select it to pair. Alternatively you can navigate through the menu to “Settings” > “Tracking settings” > Track with device – and then select the Samsung gear option and Sleeprate will find and pair your device.
o Verify that the Gear Watch also has the “Sleeprate” wear app in it. If not, search for it in the “Galaxy Wearable” app for download.
o You will not be able to start tracking from your own watch by clicking “Start Tracking”, if you are in the Sleep Tracking screen in the Sleeprate Android app.
o If you cannot start your tracking from the Gear device at this point, or you see a screen that shows a connection problem, try to reboot both devices and go to the step above.
• Wear OS Watches
o After installing the Sleeprate Android app, the Wear OS watch should prompt to download the Wear app from the watch. (Note that this can take up to several minutes after installation).
o If the prompt message does not appear, you can download the Wear app from the Google Play application on your watch (assuming you have WearOS version 2.0 and above).
o After installing the Wear app, try to find it in the Sleeprate application, in the Tracking Settings or on the Sleep Tracking screen. You should now be able to start tracking.
o If you still cannot find the device, reboot both devices and try again.
