Tizen

Samsung just announced prices for its Gear S2 smartwatch, the twisty-turny circular bezel one running the company’s own Tizen wearable software. If interested, you’ll be parting with $300-$350 for the S2 and the S2 Classic. They’ll be available in stores and online on October 2.

Samsung says that its line of 2015 Smart TVs will run apps on the company's Tizen operating system, instead of the more obvious Android option. The company is obviously trying to give its floundering platform a push. The TVs are set to be announced next week at CES in Las Vegas.
