As it moves to Wear OS, Samsung wants owners of its first Android watch to switch to Tizen

Samsung's return to an Android-based operating system for its smartwatches is happening later this year, with the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Active set to run Wear OS instead of Samsung's Tizen OS. This move is going to, among other things, bring much needed access to a wider selection of apps for Samsung's smartwatches, but the company will not be switching over existing watches running Tizen to Wear OS, a move that has attracted criticism from some of its diehard fans.
