Bought the SmartWatch 2 weeks ago and im so dissapointed with Bixby, I hoped it would be like Google's Ai which i have on my android TV. extremly useful. but unfortunatly its a pile of garbage, I feel like a have a very regular watch just now i have to charge it.
360$ I spent on it and the ROI is negative here.
If you feel the same please support me and lets demand this change on the software! (its not too late.)

I appreciate that it's not ideal for you, @NiRo_O, however the Galaxy Wearable range runs on Tizen OS, and this does not Support Google Assistant.
I can also see that your currency is in $ and not £ or €, in that case I'd also recommend reaching out to Samsung in your region as you're on the UK/Europe forum here.
Say "hello!" and Introduce Yourself, or virtually hangout in the Samsung Lounge

Absolutely correct.
The answer is for Samsung to ditch Tizen and get android upgrade developed for the watch. Or keep Tizen and get the hooks over to Google so Assistant can run on the Galaxy Watch 46mm.
Ignore the marketplace at your own peril Samsung ..... Sony learned the hardway with Beta Max all those decades ago .... you cannot capture a market with a completely inferior product by forcing people to use it. You can only drive them completely to another manufacturer while you continue to dilude yourself the Bixby is a product.... it is not... it is an engineering experiment turned loose on the public.....
You will know when Bixby (Svoice with a dumb name) is ready when you release it and people choose it over Assistant. A tall mountain indeed, but one you must climb with performance, not a lockout operating system.

It took less than a month for the market to respond with an app that killed that stupid Bixby button on my Note 9 ! You will only win this if all you care about is the Korean marketplace ....... ignore the USA marketplace at your own peril!!!

Can't agree more. I don't understand why anyone would use bixby when we have Google assistant. Plus I hate it that they want to force you to use the stupid bixby so called assistant. At least earlier we had the option to disable it on the S9. Now with the new update, we can only change it to one or two presses of the button?? What a load of bull****

To play the devil's advocate a little on this one:
Given the investment in Bixby throughout the global Samsung ecosystem (smartphones; wearables; TV’s; home appliances... and anything else that'll come along) and a movement towards greater connectivity/integration within that ecosystem, I don’t think it’s something that’s going to be easily abandoned. Shouts (however many) of “Bixby sucks!” or "I love Google Assistant!" are more likely to encourage the developers towards improving and innovating Bixby rather than consigning it to history.
Tizen's not going to be easily dropped either. How Google Assistant fares on iOS perhaps offers an insight into some of the challenges that'd be faced for implementation on another OS such as Tizen:

Shouts of #bixbysucks and #freegalaxywatch may encourage the developers to work harder?
They should have done that long ago. The train wreck has started ..... not time to work on the project correctly now ... time to get the carnage halted and the passenger a method to get on with business.
The programmers have been measured and found wanton and came up failed.
