What's new with Wear OS?

Older Samsung smart watches utilize Samsung's proprietary Tizen operating system, while newer models feature Google's Wear OS. Wear OS allows deeper customization with more watch face styles and third-party apps, and is more deeply integrated with other Samsung product lines. Also, because WearOS on Samsung devices includes OneUI software, the updated experience is remarkably similar - users who love Tizen are able to have a remarkably similar experience with Wear OS models - Bixby, Samsung Pay, and SmartThings are all able to be used, plus all Google benefits!
