TL;DR

  • Do Not Disturb is currently broken on Galaxy Watches after the One UI 8 update, with the setting turning itself off when enabled from the watch’s quick panel.
  • Samsung has confirmed the bug, which affects multiple models, from the Galaxy Watch 4 through the Watch 8.
  • While Samsung is working on a permanent fix, you can avoid the bug by turning on DND through the watch’s full settings menu.

If you own a Galaxy Watch and want some peace and quiet, you might have noticed a new problem after the latest One UI 8 update for Samsung phones. When you turn on Do Not Disturb from the watch’s quick settings, it switches off again after a few seconds.

Samsung has confirmed the problem, which affects many models from the Galaxy Watch 4 up to the Watch 8 (via SammyGuru). Multiple users have reported the issue on the Samsung Community forum.
