Samsung has improved Samsung Reminders app over the years and is now integrated into its whole Samsung ecosystem. We, busy people, have too many things to look after, that's why we use reminders app. Creating and setting reminders should be easy and seamless, so we don't even need to think about how to set a reminder. In this video I will show you how to easily create and edit reminders using Samsung digital assistance, Bixby, and how to create reminders using galaxy watch and on our phone. Without doing anything Samsung will seamlessly synchronise all our reminders across our Samsung galaxy mobile, galaxy tablet and galaxy watch.
I have used lots of To-Do List apps like “Remember the Milk”, “Anydo”, and “Google Keep”. Eventually, I still gravitate back to the newly improved Samsung Reminders app. It’s not just because of the app and the user interface (UI) enhancement, it about how Samsung has embedded it natively across its ecosystem. We can even manage reminders easily on our watch.
Why I did not say the full phase "Hi Bixby!"?
It's because I did not want to trigger Bixby on your device as you watch my video.

thanks for this video! now my watch has become a lot more useful!
You are welcome.
Very detailed and methodic video. Thanks.
Bixby is very useful 👌
Exactly what I needed to see!
One problem on my Watch6. "Set Reminder to wash hands when I arrive at work"
It says "I set a reminder but couldn't set a place". When I do the same on my phone, it set's it perfectly!
Thank you for showing how easy it is to use Bixby to accomplish simple tasks. Great video.
And gilleojax thanks for letting me know. If there are lots of you finding Bixby video useful 👍, I thought of making more videos on Bixby. I use Bixby all the time, and I use Google Assistant all the time too. They are both great in their own ways.
@@SkyPerspective I would love to see more Bixby videos. I see Google assistant videos all the time but not Bixby. Maybe you could show how you use both daily/weekly. Keep up the great job
OK @gilleojax, I have noted this and have moved those Bixby videos higher up on the list of videos I want to make. When I reached 1000 subscribers and unlock the community tab, I thought of letting my subscribers vote what type of videos all of you want to watch. Thanks for the encouragement.
Brilliant video mate
Thanks. Very happy to know its useful.
I'm looking into buying a smartwatch only for the reminders. As a Samsung smartphone user I'm leaning towards Samsung smartwatch because of the overall integration but I am not happy that I will have to charge it daily or once every two days. Anyhow, great video. I do have a question tho. If I set all my reminders in the calendar, will they appear on the watch face the same way like the remi ders from the reminder app do? Also, I will be having around 10 reminders minimum every day, how would that appear on the watch face as I take it that the text of the reminder would overlap with other reminders being that there would be so many of them. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Hi Miljan If you are only considering Samsung watches, then unfortunately you will need to charge them everyday or every other day. There are other brands like TicWatch where they are designed for long battery life.
For Samsung watch interface, your calendar reminders will appear as a notification, or you can go into the calendar app on the watch to see the entries. We can navigate by swapping and scrolling through the long list of entries, clicking on one to see the details of a single entry, and use back to go back to the list. I hope this make sense.
Bixby is awesome.
You are a hero.
Huh? Why is that so?
@@SkyPerspective Because there are awesome advices in this video.
Thanks for your wonderful feedback. Glad the video is useful to you.
Thanks for the video, did you find a way to clear the reminder notifications from your tablet if you cleared it from your phone?
You are welcome. No, not really. Normally if I cleared the reminder on my tablet, when I see the same reminder notification on my phone, I will simply swipe away the notification. I don't need to clear it on my phone again because the phone will sync the cleared reminder in the background.
Does this pop up on galaxy watch also?
I forget a lot of things.
I want to purchase a galaxy watch 3 (due to lack of funds)
Can i set reminder on that watch?
Great video! Congrats! I'll use it more! Unfortunately, in my smartphone the Bixby is in portuguese/Brazil, but my Galaxy Watch3 it is english (it doesn't have pt-br)... some reminders are in Portugue, other are in English... funny...
Oh Hi Paulo, good to hear from you again. That's funny and interesting. Google must have been confused by the different language settings.
Thanks for the video, is there any option in the watch to keep reminder vibrate until I touch the watch and stop it? Because sometime i set reminder but the reminder go unnoticed because vibration is short. I have changed vibration intensity to strong but still not helping
Hi Arshad, not that I know off. Try changing the "Notification vibration" settings to "long" and "Vibration Intensity" to "Strong", and that would be the best you can get.
Bixby is very useful,in fact most things in life are useful,they become useless when we start comparing then to something else,..its the comparism with Google assistant that has destroyed bixby, and the old bixby had too many errors, the latest one is perfect 😀 👍
I couldn't agree more, that's why I made this video.
ruclips.net/video/DikwJzy2XaA/видео.html
Both Google assistant and bixby are useful in their own ways.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
True,thanks for this video, much appreciated
This video had me super excited cause it's exactly what I need.
Was about to order the Samsung Watch 5, when it I saw online that the My Day Face is not available. Is that true?
I really would love to use it the way youve shown
Samsung reminders still works on the watch 5, but yes you are right, the watch 5 doesn't have My Day Watch face. You will need to find a 3rd party watch face for that.
@Sky Perspective Thank you so much for the reply.
This is infortunate. In that case, I probably won't buy the watch anymore. I wouldn't know where to get a 3rd party app.
Highly informative, well presented. Thank you for sharing this information, there is much I learned.
Suggestion: Be remindful many folks have hearing difficulties. Thus while listening to your presentation the background music over your voice becomes quite intrusive.
Hi Ric thank you so much for your feedback. I have got similar feedback about the background music and have lowered the volume in some of my latest videos. Coincidentally, I am currently making another Bixby video, and I will tone down on the music or do without the music all together. Glad you find the video useful.
@@SkyPerspective Thank you for your polite response. I will be looking forward to your Bixby video.
A bit of appropriate music at the beginning and end is okay. When someone is talking it is never okay. Watching other tech RUclipsrs with a high volume of subscribers and viewers notice none play music. Example, Dotto Tech, Marques Brownlee, Unboxed therapy, Thao Huynh, and a gazillion others. Watch a TED presentation, music never played. All those presenters want their viewers concentrating on their presentation, not fighting music. As I mention to friends creating videos with music, "during your next business meeting, client meeting, when the speaker begins talking turn up some music. The participants will become miffed and demand the music is turned off."
Hi Ric, that is so true. Thanks for teaching me all these. I am definitely more mindful with the music volume and selections now. Selecting the right music is also the slowest part of my work flow producing the video, so I might as well do without.
@@SkyPerspective on the other hand, I like the background music. It's peaceful, yet engaging.
@@TimVanBuren Thanks for your feedback. I really like the music too, that's why I chose these music. I think Ric and others are saying my background music is to loud and distracting when I am trying to talk and explain something. I will be introducing a new "Up Close & Physical" video series soon where I won't be talking much. I most likely will use the nice peaceful background music in that video series. Stay tuned.
My sticky note pad thanks you.
Yap, something like that. Sticky note pad on your wrist.
Super useful information, are you using galaxy watch 4 or 5 now? Would love to see how you use it for productovity like this reminder. I'm buying the watch not for sport but for productivity and there are not many videos on this aspect 😢
Haha, the reason is because the watch 5 is not really geared for productivity. I am using the watch 5 now and without the my day watch face, we don't get much calendar schedule features. I am enjoying the watch 5 controlling my smart home lights and air con using smartthings, if you regard that as "productivity". It's on my wrist so I pretty much control my whole house anywhere I am.
Oh don't get me wrong, of course watch 5 will still notify you with calendar entires reminders like any other app of course. And there is a calendar app where we can see the calendar and appointments. Can't create calendar appointments though, unless we use Bixby on the watch.
Your video and how you use the software to set a reminder is very informative. Also, like your watch face, may I know where to download it. Thanks
Hi Michael, that "My Day" watch face is one of the watch face that comes with the latest version of galaxy wearable app and galaxy watch. You should be able to find it in wearable app.
😁 So happy that you find my video useful, please help by sharing this video on your social media so it can help lots more people. Thanks.
Excuse me I have not been able to find the app would you be willing to share a link to it
@@danielcamp9853 Hi Daniel, it comes preloaded. Try finding it in the watch faces tab of the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. It's not an app fromthe app store, so apologies I can't send you a link.
Please help, Bixby can't set location reminders on GW4/5, but it works fine on my phone.
Try going to your Samsung reminder app to set up some prefixed locations first, like home location and work location. After that you can go "Hi Bixby, remind me to when I get Home".
How do you make your reminders show as little yellow dots on the face of the watch.?
Hi joel, by setting the reminder's date and time in the Samsung Reminder App on the phone. After that, it should automatically appear on the watch as those yellow dots.
To do lists with bixby!
Yap.
How to set-up command on bixby on watch active 2?
I can create custom commands for bixby on phone but i cant do it on my watch active 2
Thanks in advance
Hi Hariharan, I haven't used custom Bixby commands before. What I would expect is any Bixby command be it custom or standard should work on both the watch and the phone. Hopefully someone who uses custom commands can provide more advice when they read this message.
Which watches can I link google calendar to them and remind me?
Most galaxy watch should allow you to do that, like the galaxy Watch active 2, watch 3 and the latest watch 4. You will need to sync your google calendar to your Samsung Calendar on your phone and the calendar entries will appear on the Galaxy Watch calendar app.
@@SkyPerspective Thank you for your information.🥹😊
@@thanaphatt.6281 You are very welcome. Thanks for commenting on the video.
Samsung reminders now automatically syncs with Microsoft to do, so you can have a very powerful task management system that works directly with Bixby
Exactly. I knew about that long time ago, but haven't had the time to give it a go yet. Hopefully I can find some time to set this up. Too busy making videos for all of you.
What samsung phone model are you using?
The one in the video is Galaxy Note 10. I am using Galaxy Z Fold 4. Why?
Can you put reminders in the watch without using any other device?
Yes we can. We can create reminders by going to the reminders app on the watch, type the reminder description using the watch T9 keyboard, and set the reminder time, all using the watch, without using our mobile. However, we will need a mobile phone to set up the watch initially using galaxy wearables app.
Is there anyway to use bixby routines on Galaxy Watch?? Like when I Leave home I want my mobile data on and wifi off to happen automatically.
Please tell the name of the watch face you are using
Hi Orion, don't think you can run routines on the watch to automatically switch on your watch mobile data and off wifi. Bixby routine can do that on the phone, but not on the watch. The watch face is called My Day and it's part of the included watch faces that comes with Galaxy Wearable.
Your watch face name pls?
It's called the My Day watch face which is available in Galaxy watch 2 and 3 only I think. Not available in Galaxy Watch 4.
The samsung reminders app is horrible and the worst thing about it is not allowing more customization and I can't figure out an easy way to stop the alert when it's on my wrist with a simple button put push. The default when pushing the button is to pause, minutes later you're disturbed again. They should allow you to choose, or allow the top button to stop the alert and bottom button pause.
Try changing the alert style. We can set the alert style to be light, medium or strong. Depending on the version of Samsung reminders app you are using, this can be found in individual reminders or in the app settings. I do agree Samsung App has a lot of improvements to make, but the native app integration with galaxy watch is really convenient.
