If you’re in the latter camp, I detail quick fixes and deeper troubleshooting steps to solve the known Galaxy Watch 8 problems. To reboot your Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, press and hold the Home and Back keys on the right-hand side of your watch until the Samsung logo appears. I’d also ensure that Always show on both is toggled on beneath the Phone notifications on watch section in the Watch settings > Notifications page . The Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) are relatively new devices, so don’t be surprised if the issues list grows as the watches age.
