We’re beginning to see Samsung placing in additional effort to create a unified consumer expertise throughout totally different gadget classes. The Tizen 8 replace for good TVs and displays brings One UI components to big-screen gadgets.
We additionally discovered that Tizen 8 intertwines the TV and Galaxy Watch experiences slightly extra to the advantage of Samsung Well being customers. And now, if in case you have One UI in your TV, you can begin a exercise in your Galaxy Watch utilizing your TV distant.
Properly, nearly.
The system is not fairly as superior or seamless because it sounds. However hopefully, it is solely step one in the proper route.
So, this is the way it works. You may navigate the brand new One UI interface utilizing the TV distant to entry the “Day by day+” tab from the sidebar. Then, you possibly can go to the “Well being” tab, scroll down, and choose your Watch. In my case, it is “Mihai’s Watch5,” however yours could have a special title.

Hopefully, with extra work on Samsung’s half, we’ll quickly be capable to choose a exercise kind on our Galaxy Watches by way of the TV’s Well being display straight and never must carry out the ultimate step from the wrist.
Perhaps that — and lots of extra cool cross-device options — will come to Samsung good TVs with the Tizen 9 replace subsequent yr.
