Activate Water Lock. On the status panel, tap. If Water Lock mode is enabled, the touchscreen, the wake-up gesture feature, and watch always on feature will turn off and so you can splash around without tapping anything by mistake. The water-drop icon will display on the Watch screen. Connect it to a phone using the Samsung Gear app, and then check for Software updates. Press and hold the Power button until Rebooting. Release the Power button, and then immediately press and release the Power button repeatedly to enter the Reboot Mode. Continue to press and release.

Step one- Place Gear Fit into download mode
To put your Gear Fit into download mode first, turn Gear Fit off then press and hold button until Gear Fit powers back on showing Gear Fit logo and Samsung logo. Continue holding button until Samsung logo disappears and a vibration is felt. Without delay, press button five times when Gear Fit restarting appears on device and once when option appears to select download options. Immediately press and hold for three seconds to enter download mode.
Step two- Start Odin and select Gear Fit Firmware files
If you haven’t downloaded the required files, please do so and extract all the files from Gear Fit archive and launch Odin. Under Files [Download] category in Odin, select all three files labelled starting with BL, AP and CSC. Leave all other options as default.

Update (05/22/2014) – Please note that for future updates where only one update file is available for Gear Fit, use option CSC to select the file in Odin.
Step 3- Start firmware flash process
Connect Gear Fit to your computer by using connection dongle for charging to connect Micro USB cable to Gear Fit. At this point, Odin should display COM ports one and two as connected. You should now be able to click the start button in Odin to begin the process. If Odin doesn’t recognize Gear Fit after connecting to your computer, you will need to download Samsung drivers.
