I have lost my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 a few months ago, and at first thought it was just dead but still in my place where was last seen nearby. When I couldnt find it I realized all the permissions for the Galaxy Watch Manager app were still on when it mysteriously synched with my phone! From what I saw it downloaded call logs, contacts, all text messages, nfc transactions, etc. I quickly removed all authorizations, denying any access since it still showed the Watch itself as dead and not found for months. A week later the same thing happened! I had changed passwords and added security to my Google and Samsung accounts, yet that Manager app somehow was allowed again to sync with call log and all my text messages ?!???
Then I think I made a mistake, as last resort tried to delete it (remote delete never worked since it never appeared online since losing) from the find account. It is still registered in my name and on my Samsung acct but it doesn't appear on smart things find or Samsung find anymore BUT yesterday it happened again !! And it doesn't let me delete the app because it is part of Samsung ecosystem (like wearable also manages my buds).

Please help ? Am I being hacked by someone who stole my Watch?!?

Go to your Samsung and Google accounts and log the watch out. Even if you changed the password on your accounts, devices already logged on may remain logged in. If data was syncing someone had to have turned the watch on, and it should be able to be located, even if it was turned off again.

Unfortunately I cannot locate it. I see the manager app syncing, turn off all allowances because it still doesn't locate it. So I did remove the Watch entirely from being found now, it doesn't appear on find my Samsung or smart things. Only on my Samsung acct where I registered it, so for all reasons it is logged out. I even went to see what devices were logged in to my acct and removed it. So I am really confused how it pops up everyday

Are  you sure you logged it out of Google? You have to go into your Google account, go to the security tab and scroll down to devices, and it will show you how many and which devices are signed in.  Locate the watch and sign it out. Try the Google find hub to see if it's still findable.  Google find and Samsung find are two different apps.  Samsung Find stopped seeing my watch that I am wearing and connected to but Google still sees it.  In the Samsung find manage devices, you can unhide a hidden device.  I have two older watches that are logged out and removed from my Samsung account that show up in my device list, but I hid them because I don't need to find them, I know where they are.  They show up in my Google find list as well, and they are hidden from there too.  Your watch should not be syncing if it's off.  Are you sure it's the old watch that is syncing data?  What is it syncing to?
