The termination of Tizen service is on the horizon, with only a few more weeks to go.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back in May 2024, Samsung announced it would be ending the Tizen Watch content service. This termination has been moving in phases, with the first step ending the selling of paid Tizen Watch content on the Galaxy Store on September 30, 2024. Samsung took the second step on March 31, 2025, when it stopped allowing users to download free content on the store. The final phase will happen on September 30, 2025, which will result in users being unable to download any content whatsoever for their wearable.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_ng\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Tizen OS ending\"  alt=\"Tizen OS ending\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tizen-OS-ending.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The tech giant said in its announcement that you\u2019ll still be able to use Tizen apps that you\u2019ve downloaded. However, once they\u2019re deleted, they\u2019ll be gone for good. You\u2019ll no longer be able to re-download deleted apps after September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung stopped putting Tizen OS in its smartwatches after the Galaxy Watch 3 in 2020. So any Samsung smartwatch before then will be affected. This includes the Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, Gear Live, Gear S, Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Sport, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active 2, and Galaxy Watch 3.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to upgrade, there are plenty of fine options out there.
