I have a Galaxy S25 Ultra and a Garmin Venu 3 watch. When I attempt to use the Voice Assistant from the watch it doesn't work properly, and after days of troubleshooting I believe it's a setting or bug with the phone.
After I attempt to activate the voice assist the watch says "connecting to voice assistant," the phone screen lights up on the lock screen with either Gemini or Google Assistant (I've tried having both set as default), but the watch never connects. I can use the Voice assistant through the phone at that time, but that's not what I'm trying to do. It's supposed to connect and allow me to speak through the watch, but it continues to say connecting to voice assistant until it eventually times out on the watch, and the phone then displays "Can't connect to Venu 3." To clarify, the watch is paired properly with the phone and this is the only connection issue I have with it.
I meant to put in the post that I think it's a setting with the phone (edited). Other people seem to have the same watch and many other phones that work just fine. I have all my settings on the watch correct, but no matter what I do the phone just won't accept the request properly.
I have the older Samsung watch worked fine with my note 20 Ultra, then got the S25 Ultra and my Samsung watch was to old to be compatible with newer phone. So I bought the Garmin Venu 3 because it has talk and text. Everything works fine but the voice and talk feature. Garmin stated it is the Samsung bluetooth issue needs updated. Samsung please fix.
