Wrist gesture controls on Samsung's Galaxy Glasses only work with a Galaxy Watch9 or newer, Samsung said in its launch material.

With the watch, you can double pinch to take photos, control music or answer calls. The glasses still have buttons on the frame and voice commands, so the watch adds a way to control them. It is not the only way.
