You can even set it up to launch on your watch only when using a bike or walking navigation. For instance, you can use Maps' navigation on your watch, which is pretty accurate and comprehensive, and it vibrates every time you take a turn, for example. Spotify, Maps, Calendar, Camera remote control and various other non-Google apps offer seamless sync between the watch and your smartphone. That's something Samsung's Tizen OS was unable to deliver. It also brings deeper integration with your Android smartphone as well as a large pool of apps. Now, with Wear OS, you don't have to own a Samsung smartphone to make the best out of your Galaxy smartwatch.

We used the Galaxy Watch4 Classic as a daily driver and the previous Galaxy Watch devices running Tizen, so we have already formed an opinion. On one end, the Tizen fans and older Tizen users were unhappy with the change, but there's no denying that moving to Google's Wear OS has its benefits. Samsung made the bold decision to migrate to Wear OS last year with its Galaxy Watch4 lineup, which has sparked a debate.
