Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series officially hit store shelves last Friday, and from what we’ve seen so far, Samsung’s newest wearables are likely among the best Wear OS watches you can buy this year.
I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for the last few days, and while I’m nowhere near ready to review it, my first impressions have been positive. I’ve long been a fan of Samsung smartwatches, particularly those with rotating bezels. As such, going back to that with the Watch 8 Classic has been an absolute treat.
However, as much as I’ve enjoyed my time with the Watch 8 Classic so far, there’s one issue that almost ruined my first day with it. If you have a Galaxy Watch 8 (either the regular model or the Classic one), there’s a notification setting you’ll want to fix immediately.
What do you think about Samsung's default notification setting on the Galaxy Watch 8? 33 votes I like it. The fewer notifications, the better. 33 % I hate it! I want to see all my notifications by default. 15 % I don't care, it's an easy thing to change. 42 % Other (let us know in the comments). 9 %
Where did all my notifications go?

Then it hit me.
