Ugh, Tizen OS. Wear OS or go home.

Tizen is preferable for a Samsung phone.

Lol really? I've had both and much prefer Tizen. App selection isn't as good, true, but in my experience, Wear OS is a slow, laggy, unintuitive mess. Maybe it's gotten better, but I have this watch and it's been a much better experience than any Wear OS watch I've had.

Battery also spits on Wear Os.... Who wants to charge every night?

They're usually ignored by the larger pads, such as the monoprice or RAV ones.

I prefer Tizen cause it's easy to make faces. I don't know if Google has a face creator like Sam.

Though as you mentioned, integration with Sam products is perfect.

Agreed. I have both. Tizen is much faster. It's a cleaner smoother interface. While Wear OS has a vastly greater library of apps, much of it is pointless crap. I have beautiful large screen phone. Why would you want to play a game on a 1to2 inch screen?

Tizen is much smoother than WearOS. If Google and Samsung could get together and let Tizen support Google Assistant and Play Music, we'd be in business. But Spotify is not doing much updating/supporting the Galaxy app and Bixby is just...no.

I can't say I've ever had an issue with functionality, I wonder what I'm missing.

Would this work reasonably well with a Pixel 2XL?

Note this will not allow to make or receive calls. I know most will assume this feature in a $150 smartwatch. The active 2 has this feature.

Never own a smart watch. Do they become obsolete after a few years just like the smart phones?
