Galaxy Watch with Tizen will get three years of updates JC Torres - May 18, 2021, 9:29pm CDT Most of the rumors pointed to Samsung adopting Wear OS for its future smartwatches. They never anticipated, however, that the company would actually play a bigger role in Google’s wearable future. It might sound comforting for Wear OS fans that a large company like Samsung would be investing heavily in the platform’s future but it could also sound discouraging for those already invested in Samsung’s Tizen-based platform. Samsung is throwing this group a bone by promising updates that will last three years, though that’s really just two years now since the last Galaxy Watch.
