Whether you're new to digital watches or switching from another brand like the Apple Watch Ultra 4 to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung's wrist-worn tech has unique features. One such feature is the little orange dot on the far left of your watch screen.
Throughout the history of the Galaxy Watch, the orange dot has been a constant presence on the latest models including the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 9, and Ultra 2. This minimalist dot displays important information about unread notifications.
The orange dot serves as a notification indicator for unread messages and remains visible until you've read all notifications. If the dot appears red instead of orange, it indicates an urgent message requiring immediate attention. The indicator is harmless and can be disabled.
To toggle off the new notification indicator, go to Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings and turn off New notification indicator on watch face. Alternatively, use the Samsung Wearable app on your phone, navigating to Watch Settings > Notifications > Advanced notification settings.
