I've had my Watch8 since Christmas last year... so not quite a year yet. Yet I've had numerous Problems like my watch deconnecting alk the time for no reason whatsoever... BUT what's the worst is, that sometimes when it's deconnected it randomly changes time... Which has led to my watch waking me up in the middle of the night! It's very annoying. The time corrects as soon as I connect it do my phone... Does anyone habe the same problems or know how to solve this issue?

@Happy_swiss_panda: Please note that your Watch8 syncs with the date and time of the connected smartphone. If the time is changing when the Watch disconnects from your phone then, while the Watch is disconnected, head to Settings > General > Date and time, and manually set the date and time from here. Hopefully, if the issue occurs again, the Watch will default to the manual settings you have applied, and the time should remain the same.

Manually setting Date./ time should hopefully fix the syncing issue.
A few things you can try with the disconnecting issue :
If you go to Connections-Bluetooth and go to watch in paired Devices,tap the settings icon (cog) and unpair, pair again to see if that makes a difference. Another idea is to reset the Network connections on your phone, General Management-Reset- Reset the Wifi and Bluetooth settings. You could also clear the cache of the wearable App. Go to Apps-Galaxy Wearable-storage and clear cache.
