        It would be wise move. Proprietary, uncustomizable OSes (like Android Wear and watchOS) should die.

          It's ironic since huawei CEO once claimed that they never would consider tizen OS for their devices...

            Smart Move!

                Hopefully android watches become extinct. Tizen does a better job, so it'll be better if it's the only one used since it'll get more support.

                      I've only ever owned a Pebble but I have played around with Android Wear (Moto 360) and Tizen (Gear 2)) on smartwatches and I must say Tizen works really really well with such a small screen, so much better than Android Wear. I wasn't really expecting that after Tizen being so poor on a smartphone.

                        I think that's the right move, I own a gear s2 and it's awsome. Didn't like my previous android wear watch at all didn't even use for more than a month. As for the gear I've been using it since last November daily

                          The only thing I hate from Android Wear:
                          Swiping, swiping, swiping everywhere.

                          The only thing(s) I like from Tizen OS:
                          Rotating bezel + OS fluidity.

                            Samsung paid huawei to add Tizen Os?
                            Androi Wear FTW, people dont go crazy about anything else. Android will be the main anyways, causr of google.

                              From my point of view Tizen OS isn't very good. I owned Samsung Gear S and I wasn't satisfied. S Voice lacks Polish language support. It simply cannot understand me. For me the main advantage of a smartwatch is the ability to send messages or call people using voice control. With Tizen it's just not possible.

                              Currently I own Huawei Watch and I'm very happy with it. Android Wear has quite good language support. It's not perfect but currently that's the only option.
