This wikiHow teaches you how to pair different types of smart watches to your Android phone or tablet. If you're using a WearOS compatible watch, you can install the WearOS app from the Play Store and let it guide you through setup. Samsung Galaxy Watch owners can use the Galaxy Wearable app, also available from the Play Store, for both pairing and managing. If you're using a different watch manufacturer, you can usually find its app available for free at the Play Store and use it to pair, but if that doesn't work, you can pair it in your Android's settings.
