2021 brought one of the biggest surprises in Samsung and Google finally working together to improve the smartwatch landscape. At the moment, Apple is ruling the smartwatch industry with their Apple Watch, and nothing else comes close. However, Samsung and Google are now joining hands to improve Wear OS, which also means that the next Galaxy Watch is going to ship with Wear OS, but this time, Samsung will have more control over the software.

It might seem strange, but it makes perfect sense thanks to Samsung's amazing understanding of Android as an operating system. At the time of writing, One UI happens to be the best 3rd party skins; it is not only something that looks good but also fluid, highly functional, and has features that you would actually want to use. So, it is only fair that Google wants some of that influence on Wear OS too. Which, so far, hasn't seen good days.
