Wear OS has been neglected for far too long. Google has been dead in the smartwatch space, and Samsung can't get a decent app ecosystem together with its smartwatches based on Tizen. The two companies, along with Fitbit (which was recently acquired by Google), are teaming up. Google says it is building "a unified platform, jointly with Samsung" that will combine "the best of Wear OS and Tizen." The new platform has been quietly renamed "Wear," dropping the "OS" suffix.

This announcement was just a tease, with no screenshots of the new OS other than a look at a few things made with the existing Wear OS "Tiles" API. So it's not clear what we're getting here. We do have some quotes, though. Executives from Google, Samsung, and Fitbit commandeered the stream to talk about their parts in all of this.
