This is nothing but greed and laziness. They could have easily progressed it better if they wanted and there was potential. Just rich boses and share holders with no comprehension of the real world

It adds 2% more body fat at least to anyone, compared to pro scale with same technology of sensor. I had purchased the GW4 with the capacitive bezel but in Wear OS, it's not 'thinked' like that, it's more gesture. So you'll end up upon a gesture, touching the bezel ... When in use, it's very annoying. Adds that to the poor battery life and the 'new' sensors that aren't that great, compared to a GW3 Titanium, I'm gonna keep it :P

    It's still a downgrade since my S3 Frontier on battery life but hey, at least there are (useful) sensors that works :p

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.

          AnonD-762416, 09 Jan 2022They bought access to Tizen. If you look at all the sub det... moreAgreed on the part where Wear OS was nowhere with Tizen on the other sided. 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 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.
