      To me all depends of what they'll be willing to bring from their current apps / ui into Android wear. Had both experiences- wearOS and Tizen GearOS and in the end despite a few pros to the wearOS i decided to have my 4th smartwatch with tizen. If they make a smooth and wide transition than probably I'm a buyer but we can't expect all in one go, so after its out maybe the experience will be complete after xyz time. Consumers at this market are not patient so it will be a funny thing to watch, what will happen?

        If anyone can improve WearOS, then it is Samsung. Happy to see them working on it.

            Wonder how Exynos wearable chips would work with Wear OS.
            If they are good, Samsung should consider competing in the chip market for wearables.

                                Anonymous, 03 Mar 2021Good, tell me where Tizen is better than Wear OS.Tizen - the BEST. Wear OS is terrible.

                                  kanaaka, 03 Mar 2021i don't really care about what OS inside my smartwatch... moreYou clearly know both worlds because that's the most useful comment on this article. Apps are so meaningless on smartwatches because why would anyone use an app on the small watch while a big beautiful phone display is right there inside the pocket.

                                    Anonymous, 03 Mar 2021To me Wear OS looks more serious and professional. Tizen lo... moreNope. My GF has a Wear OS (Fossil Gen 5) watch and I have the OG Galaxy Watch and everything messaging related is way better on Tizen (both our opinions) and she thinks about switching to a Galaxy Watch because of it. For example can I see image previews, can reply with text & emojis while she can only use one of which, open links that have been sent to me.
                                    The only thing WearOS is better at is app selection but I found everything I needed on Tizen so I think Tizen is the better pick. Especially if you consider efficiency because WearOS lasts 18-26 hours tops while I get 3-5 days out of my tizen watch.

                                        This is great news, WearOS has way more apps & watchfaces, but it will be great if Samsung can put their, fall detection & ECG on a WearOS smartwatch, lets hope they keep their own app as GoogleFit is terrible.
