I'm also guessing Samsung will want to protect their IP on the rotating bezel, so that will make it look more like the basic Galaxy Watch 4. That isn't necessarily all bad, the basic Galaxy Watch 4 is a very nice looking watch.

I didn't checked the code or so on, but seeing the similarities and how Wear OS 3.0 wasn't really made for dial / round watch (Like Tizen was, since the dial was brought on since the start), add a poor battery life and you have all except a winner :D

      Let's see in a few times ... But RN, I wonder about the Pixel watch, if it's gonna be a Watch4 clone with a more 'classic watch' body and perhaps slimmer ? Or it will be a soufflé that will fall back :D

                  I am actually surprised that store was still open to begin with.

                            I hope they ditch it for their upcoming TVs too (in favour of Google TV/Android TV, whatever it is called nowadays...). And I'd very much love them to update their Tizen TVs to Android too (in the future). Those QD-OLED TVs look FAB! But the only downside, for me, is Tizen...

                              Tizen was fail since long time ago like many elese from Samsung such as foldables or FE models.
                              Other competitors do a lot better job.

                                      And yes it was Sailfish based OS basically.
                                      Sadly Samsung rebranded it in the name of Tizen in 2017. That time I was sure this won't even continue till 2020.
                                      Still Stock like pure Linux based OS can still work in 2022 especially on affordable phones, so that people can escape from Google. But question is who will do that.
