:confused:

Then maybe you bought wrong device?

SM-R600 is since few days/weeks on market available... with funtastic Tizen 3.0.0.1... :D
With creme de la creme Development from Samsung R&D...

Tizen 3 only need 5 years to pop out in real market...

Btw... is obsolete as Tizen 5 ehm 4 is now "in" in Samsung R&D... :rolleyes:


Gear S2 NO success yet:

Gear S3 less progress:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/gear-s3-android-wear-port-wip-t3584588

But feel free to find your own way... for SM-R600. ;)

Firmware for study is for instance here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-sport/help/sm-r600-firmware-odin-repair-study-t3688495

Similar problem like we know from SM-R760/SM-R770...
ROOT access and/or bypass of Security AGAINST Firmware modification... :D

And for sure...
Samsung increased Security in Tizen 3 crap... :rolleyes:

My opinion...

Best Regards

Hey, thank you! No I didn't bought the wrong device. There's only no one with Android Wear 2.0 which is nearly as good as the Gear Sport and.

But I hate the App Store of Tizen and S-Health. So I asked me if it is possible to run Android Wear 2.0 on the Gear Sport. But it seems a bit tricky and long work.

Is there any other Option to run Apps from Play Store on Tizen with my Gear Sport?

No, you cannot run Android apps on a non-Android device, there are zero options unfortunately. But if you got Android on it, you would be missing out on the watch spinning dial, and with such a small screen on the sport, I couldn't imagine going touchscreen-only.

I think you may be mistaken.
I have a Samsung Gear 2 Neo, running Android Wear 1.5. The Neo originally came running on Tizen.
I have a Fossil Explorist with a stem that turns, scrolling through items on the display.
Whose to say there will not be a developer that creates a way to install Wear OS onto the Gear Sport, utilizing the spinning bezel to scroll?
This is what xda is all about.
