    Might want to read this first before you commit $500 (a significant amount) on a Tizen OS - based Samsung watch.

    It was also announced that future Galaxy Watches would use Google’s Wear OS platform, instead of the Tizen-based software that Samsung has used for its wearables over the past few years. Samsung has now clarified what the transition means for the millions of Galaxy Watches it has already sold.

    “With the new unified platform,” Samsung said in a press release published today, “we are unlocking a whole world of opportunities for the developer community. […] Our hope is that this platform will ignite innovation in spaces like the Galaxy Watch Studio and inspire third party development, bringing a bigger and better network of apps to benefit Galaxy users around the world.”

    Samsung confirmed in the announcement that all existing Galaxy Watches will not be updated to Wear OS. However, the watches aren’t being completely abandoned — Samsung says it will provide “at least three years of software support” starting from when each watch was released. That means the Galaxy Watch 3 will still be supported until at least August 2023, and the Watch Active 2 has a year left (August 2022). The original Galaxy Watch will turn three years old this August, so the recent One UI upgrade could be the model’s last major update.

    I've been pretty happy with Tizen so not overly worried about wear OS, my gear S2 went years without getting an update also.
    Unless there is some killer feature wear OS has that Tizen doesn't I'd say the Galaxy watch 3 is a good deal at this price.

    • Google app store .

        Most of the apps you would need come with the watch I can't see what the Google app store would offer that would be enough of a game changer over Tizen. Most non specific watch apps are terrible and Samsung probably makes the best watch centric apps….Bixby aside.

    Tizen os is so mature and works very well, like a well oiled machine

    • Then why would samsung move to wear os?

      • Bigger market share?

        • Wear os is barely a blip in the market

    • Mature? Then why do you have to keep manually forcing your phone to connect to your galaxy watch so that you can get notifications? This happened with me regardless of which phone I used. Galaxy Active 2. I checked online, and pretty much everyone has the same problem. I like the design of the Galaxy watches, but not the connectivity.

      • This has to do with your power settings on your phone. What phones?

        • Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and iPhone 8. The watch is fine while you’re in range of the phone. As soon as you walk out of range, it will not automatically reconnect when you come back in range of the phone.

          • @ForkSnorter: Do you have wifi and bluetooth switched on on the watch? I have had Samsung, Pixel and iPhone 11 with active 2 (had 3 of them due to smashing screen, and manufacturing defect), and my wife has one and had Pixel and now iPhone. Disconnected regularly with iPhone, but turned Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and all power saving off and all is good.

      • I upgraded the phone from s8 to note 20 5G but the watch doesn't connect to the new one.

        Have used every galaxy watch never had this issue, seems like a settings thing.

      • My Active 2 works flawlessly with LG V50, various Galaxy phones (S9, S10, S20 Ultra)
