Hi,
I have read more rumors about the topic that maybe the new Galaxy watch comes up with wear os.
Maybe I will not get a clear answer here but is it possible to get something like a “calm down” message?
I think a lot of developers are confused and maybe scared about this rumors.
When Samsung start to split there own product into 2 different os systems it will have influence also into our business.
I want to be prepared early as possible.

Every year when a new clock from Samsung comes on the market, these rumors come up. For me, Wear OS is not a good operating system for SARTWATCHES.
Is there anything more than a single tweet (and lots of people just spreading that stuff) from a guy who predicts the same thing year after year?
Yes, take a look at this page: https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-android-wear-os/
Intersting…
But looking at git.tizen.org, there is still development going on for smartwatches, e.g. pass-hal: tw3: Update pass-hal-tw3 by using hal-api-power interface talks about changes for Tizen 6.5 (which probably will only make it on devices next year).
Personally I doubt Samsung will switch operating system to Wear OS. WearOS is not developed for long time. Battery consumption is very heavy with compare to Tizen. Tizen works very smoothly, battery friendly and UX is much better than WOS. Tizen is just much better operating system for wearable devices. Actually it may replace a phone. Maybe one drawback: less apps.
I think Samsung should advertise Tizen on other non-Samsung watches. Maybe share license for other manufactures. For now Tizen is really the best system for wearables IMHO

If Samsung makes the decision to switch to Wear OS, the biggest losers are the developers.
We study the APIs and the code to run applications and watch faces.
On the other hand, I do not see any problem for designers, since designing with a program that does not need to know how to code has no effect.
Here the word Developer is very confused with designer, and it is not the same.
I opened an 1:1 enquiry 3 weeks ago, asking Samsung support if they are indeed switching to WearOS, because we as developers should be told in advance whether Tizen will still have a future or not.
They replied a few days after with:
“Regarding your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the department in charge is investigating the problem, but it may take some time.”
And a few days ago with:
“Regarding your inquiry, we would like to inform you that it is taking time for the department to officially announce the issue. Therefore, once the official guidance is confirmed, we will re-guide you.”
I really don’t know what to expect…
