Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Watch 5<\/a> offers more customizability at launch than its previous watches. Part of that is the ability to reprogram the home button and back keys to better suit your daily needs or workflows. And now that Google Assistant is available on Wear OS 3, you don\u2019t have to settle for Samsung hard-coding Bixby as your default smartwatch assistant.<\/p>\n

Out of the box, you can double-press the home button to go to the most recent app you used or long-press to bring up Bixby. The back button will bring you back to a previous screen with a short press and launch Samsung Pay with a long press. If these don\u2019t work for you, you can edit these controls \u2014 with the exception of launching Samsung Pay. For whatever reason, Samsung won\u2019t let you change that hard-coded control. <\/p>\n

Reprogramming buttons isn\u2019t unique to the Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, of course. Most watches will let you do this. However, with the Galaxy Watch 4<\/a> and 5 series, your choices are a bit more structured \u2014 and if you want to launch Google Assistant with a long press, there are a few extra steps. Here\u2019s how to get started:<\/p>\n
