Software Support for Galaxy Watch Active

[iamS]

Hey guys!

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and I'm on Tizen 4.0.0.7. Apparently the Galaxy Watch 3 has Tizen 5 so I'm wondering if my watch will get the update and if so, when? 

Many Thanks!

If its the original Galaxy watch and not the 2 I'm afraid your stuck with tizen 4 even the galaxy watch has stopped getting updates. I recently got the active 2 and that's the only other watch that's up to date.

I've got the Galaxy Watch Active 1. Is that what you mean by original Galaxy Watch?

[AshS20]

yes that's correct

***** thats just tragic. Its been just less than two years and they've already dropped support 💀💀😭😭

Wow that's extremely poor respect for the customer especially considering the watch is an over priced accessory, I just bought a Galaxy watch 3 at over £350.00 ,I am wondering if Samsung respect their consumers anymore after reading once again about them ending support prematurely on another high end product.??

Ikr I bought it thinking it was still relevant in November since I felt there wasn't much of a difference between the original and the Galaxy Watch Active 2. I'll be honest I'm really disappointed with the lack of support samsung provides 😞

to be honest they have started much better support now, even the phones only got 2 years back in 2019. Now all the products supports 3 years apart from the ultra cheap A series phone. I still think they need to try for 4 to 5 years but it's better than it used to be

as for the watch 3 don't worry that bad boy will go for 3 years of software
