Instead, you should connect your smart watch to a pair of Bluetooth headphones, so you can enjoy the soundtrack of your life. You can easily switch between Bluetooth devices and alter their settings right from the watch. You can also take calls if your watch is connected to a phone. You can find the newest Galaxy smart watch and earbud headphones on the Samsung Shop.
