Time will tell whether this is a good move on Samsung's part. I've used 3 Samsung smart watches and still have my Watch Active 2. However I've barely used it since I bought an Apple Watch 6 seven months ago. Moving forward it's likely I'll stick with Apple Watches. The Galaxy Watch 3 was a big disappointment for me. I didn't buy it and the rest is history

Joe, 5 hours agoTo me this is Samsung giving up on Smartwatches and I won't be buying another Samsung wat... moreLag belongs to the past for Wear OS watches with 1GB RAM and even more for watches that will be soon running on the much faster Snapdragon 4100 platform.
Samsung smartwatch users may perceive a switch from a home-brewed OS as a betrayal of their loyalty, but in the mid- to long term this is a win-win for both Samsung (that can save development costs on Tizen; it gets them nowhere in the smartphone game) and Google (that finally can give Wear OS the visibility and market share that needs to make things moving again).
Considering that Samsung tried to replace Android with Tizen on their smartphones and failed, switching to Wear OS from Tizen for smartwatches is streamlining, rather than a misstep.

How is Always-On Display on Galaxy watches? Almost all Always-On modes I've seen on smartwatches looked horrible compared to Always-On display on Apple Watch 5. What I mean is that on Apple Watch, whatever dial you have selected, when display dims a bit to save power, it still remains nearly identical to the fully lit watch face. Hands are the same, structure of dial is the same, all the complications are the same and in color, almost nothing changes really. But most others shift the watch face from detailed one into ultra simplified "white outline" one that looks nothing like fully lit one. Checked bunch of Youtube videos and they all just glance over this feature, not really showcasing it fully. Any info on that or even maybe a leak about Galaxy Watch 4 improving in this regard? Galaxy Watch seems like the best alternative and I like it's traditional design, but if it does this simplified outline crap for always-on display I'd be super annoyed by it.

I have galaxy watch 46mm and the battery life is about 2 days and there is battery saver mode which gives huge runtime even if only 15 percent is left and even using it only as watch mode it can give that last 5 percent huge uptime.
Watch is very snappy and i like that rotating bezel for using the watch.
Shame that Samsung is ditching tizen os for android wear with bad battery life. Could they even use their rotating bezel with it?
Well truth to be told this probably is my last smart watch, i am going to upgrade to smart/ar glasses which gives notifications and when those will get better i could watch youtube with huge display in front of me. Facebook is releasing smart glasses september and ar glasses later with very low price.

I own a Gear S3 and just bought a brand new Watch 3 and after reading this Samsung can go F themselves because I am not going to buy another watch from them. Wear OS is one of the worst OS in the world. Tizen is not perfect but it's light years ahead of ShitOS.

I hope they bring back MST for Samsung Pay. So useful more useful that relying solely on NFC.

To me this is Samsung giving up on Smartwatches and I won't be buying another Samsung watch. I have a Samsung watch 3 and have owned every Samsung watch since the Samsung watch 1. I've also owned lots of Wear OS watches and gave up on them after the Fossil Watch Gen 5 due to awful lag. Terrible move by Samsung.

So this is the end of the road between me and Samsung smartwatches. There's no way i could have a watch with Google stuff inside. I'm tired of their constant spying and surely don't want my every move and health data to be uploaded to Google's servers and then to be sold to who wants to buy them. NO WAY.

Unless you're doing it for a niche market and you're not concerned about sales. Or if you're Apple.

beep bop boop, 12 hours agobad move, TizenOS 5 is miles better than WearOSIt makes sense though for both Samsung and Google. Samsung's aspirations to make Tizen a credible Android replacement for smartphones are long gone and development of Tizen just for smartwatches is an unnecessary additional development cost, that Samsung could avoid, when Wear OS is already available. On the other hand, with Samsung adopting Wear OS, its market share will explode, which is exactly what is missing from the Wear OS ecosystem to convince partners like Qualcomm and other hardware and software developers to support the platform. It may need a few months or years, but in the long run it is a win-win situation for both Samsung and Google.

YoloBS, 16 hours ago" The problem with Tizen is its lack of third party apps " , i dont understand whats... morei mean, yes and no. See, the Samsung store in the latest TizenOS 5 while it may have some useful third party apps like Spotify and Outlook, the rest is either useless or poorly made, and those apps make up like 99% of the apps in the store.
And to answer your question, i would assume most people use the first party apps most of the time in the watch, since the music player that comes built in can control your music playing from your phone. so for example i can control Spotify from the first party music player in my watch. If they were using third party apps, i would say they use something along the lines of Strava or other third party music streaming services

My TicWatch Pro 3 runs Wear OS and lasts 3 days between charging with medium use. And I hasten to guess that the TicWatch Pro 3 will be half the price of anything Samsung releases.

Well this is a change! But I don’t think WearOS is good for the Galaxy watch :/ unless the price goes down or something

Samsung updated the inbuilt music controller a while back and it works so well I don't need a Spotify app. etc. etc.

YoloBS, 16 hours ago" The problem with Tizen is its lack of third party apps " , i dont understand whats... moreEspecially when considering how WearOS is not that much more functional, while suffering quite a few issues such as power management (though that is also an issue caused by the ancient SD3100 and the underutilized 12nm SD4100).
Tizen doesn't have an avalanche of apps but what it does, it does well.

I have a wearOS watch and Galaxy Watch, and i almost never feeling "lack of apps in both two" i'm only using integrated apps and maybe trying some apps but it's not i really need it
