So I got a samsung watch galaxy watch 4 sm-r800. I was so pumped cause I was told the watch had google service on it ..so I got it and open it up do everything and no Google ..so look it up talk to support and everything all said the Google service should be on it .well I do just about everything there was to do restart reboot
Everything nothing works then someone said the it's cause it's the tizen one and was so mad so I got back in touch with samsung support and they to still insist it should be on there .and it's just no where so .....I just want to know if I can put a different OS on. It or if there's anything at all I can do .

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your concern with your watch not having Google on it and I would be happy to look into this further for you. As @LongHiker said the SM-R800 is the original Galaxy watch that would have Tizen as the software on the watch. Google apps and features would not be available on the Tizen watch. In order for us to better assist you in determining the model of the watch, can you please provide us with a serial number for your watch in a private message: https://bit.ly/3fbRevo

I have the Watch4. Which Google apps are you looking for?

Try going the the Play Store, search for the app you want. Ensure that you select 'watch'.Screenshot_20230502_224726_Google Play Store.jpg

@jiggitywiggity the sm-r800 is the original Samsung Watch. It is not a Galaxy Watch 4. It was introduced in 2018 and uses Tizen. 

If someone sold it to you as a Galaxy Watch 4, they misrepresented it.
