Recently, Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 has drawn attention due to a design flaw. Many users are reporting that the watch doesn’t sit properly on Samsung’s official charging accessory. This issue is particularly prevalent with the 44mm Galaxy Watch 8 model.

Frustrating Design Issue with the Galaxy Watch 8

Galaxy Watch 8 users have expressed their disappointment on social media platforms like Reddit. One user even stated they would seek a refund due to this design flaw. Numerous other Watch 8 owners have commented, sharing similar concerns. Some users are worried about slower charging speeds and even increased heat due to the watch not making full contact with the charging pad. One user also mentioned that the PowerShare feature on Galaxy phones doesn’t work correctly with this watch.

The root of the problem lies in the Galaxy Watch 8’s standard strap design. The rubber strap curves sharply downwards, preventing the watch from lying flat on the charging pad. This issue makes charging difficult not only with Samsung’s official charging accessory but also with any other charging pads where the watch is expected to sit flat.
