Samsung Tizen watches app
Closed
Hello,
Samsung has stopped the app store for Tizen based watches. I own a Watch 3 which is still in perfect condition, so this is quite a waste, in particular as I bought the watch with Locus hiking as the main use case.
It should be possible through Tizen studio to still install applications. Could the Locus team make available the app binary please.
The installation procedure should be as follows (for fellow Watch 3 owners):
Enable developer mode: Settings > About watch > Software, then tap Software version 5 times until the developer options confirmation appears. Then turn on Debugging under About watch. samsung
- Enable developer mode: Settings > About watch > Software, then tap Software version 5 times until the developer options confirmation appears. Then turn on Debugging under About watch.
- Connect over WiFi, not Bluetooth. Tizen 5.5 on the Watch 3 is not compatible with SDBoverBT, so you have to connect by WiFi. Put the watch and PC on the same 2.4GHz network, read the watch IP from Settings > Connections > WiFi, then sdb connect <ip>:26101. Accept the RSA key prompt on the watch the first time, or it silently fails. To force the prompt back, hold the home key ~15s to reboot.
- Install with sdb install locus.wgt.
The same problem 
Hi Lennart,
thank you for contacting us and for the detailed information. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible. Locus Map 4 also no longer contains support for communication with Tizen-based watches, so providing the application binary would not solve the issue.

Understood.
Samsung has also discontinued the ability to sign binaries, so this is truly and well game over for these watches.
