Howdy Bikedoug, Thanks for taking the opportunity to contact us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your detailed feedback provides valuable insights that will assist us with improving our product line. The active workout app must have permission to display notifications to stay on top of your watch face. Please open the Galaxy Wearable app. Navigate to Open the Galaxy Wearable app. Then, go to Watch settings > Notifications > App notifications. Locate Samsung Health in the list and make sure the switch is turned ON. These actions will prevent the workout screen from disappearing. Also, check "Show Last App" setting in the wearable app to ensure it is not set to "Off". To do this, Open the Galaxy Wearable app and Go to Watch settings > Display > Show last app. Set it to the maximum available time. Lastly, for maximum visibility while cycling, you can set the watch to never turn off during a workout. Here's how: On your watch: Start the Cycling workout. Swipe right to access the settings for that specific workout. Then, scroll down to Display and turn on Always On Display. Please be aware that this action will increase your battery consumption. You can also get back to your workout without swiping. Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Double press home key. Select Workout or "Show last app". During your ride, you can double-click the home button to instantly bring the workout screen back. For your convenience, I have included some resources for your review. Let us know if you have any questions or if you would like further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. We're always happy to listen and work toward a better experience for our customers.
