Knox Configure for wearables (WKC) is a cloud-based service that empowers enterprises to customize and automate the enrollment of Samsung wearable devices purchased from authorized Samsung resellers.
Knox Configure for wearable devices simplifies the out-of-box experience and enables a large range of configuration options.
Audience
This document is intended for:
- IT Admins — Admins create profiles with the device settings, restrictions, apps, and other content to deploy to groups of devices. After devices have been successfully enrolled into the enterprise, they receive the KC device profile via a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.
- Resellers — Resellers bulk upload devices on behalf of requesting customers.
Try the solution
Use WKC to configure and customize wearable devices. Unlike phones and tablets, wearable devices utilize unique Tizen based applications and animation specific to the wearable device platform.

- Pull the latest watch profile
- Customize the appearance of the default watch face

- Hide setting and menu elements
- Turn USB debugging mode on/off
- Remap hardware keys

- Ability to dynamically push updates to settings, content and applications
- ProKiosk mode for purpose-built device setup and management
