What is the difference between Tizen and Android Wear platforms?

I want to choose a watch for myself, but I would like to know what is the difference between these platforms.
Which one is more promising? Which one has more applications?
And which devices are the best of their kind?
Cost does not play a role.
So far, I'm looking at Samsung Gear S as the best representative of Tizen.
Are there similar devices in the Android Wear ranks (water protection, the ability to make calls, a heart rate monitor) for sale?

I won’t tell you specific models (I wasn’t interested myself), but if you choose these 2 now, then Android.
I speak as a software developer for Android with great experience.
They talk a lot about Tizen, they write a lot, and in general that’s all .. maybe it will shoot in the future, but I wouldn’t talk about its prospects now ..

According to the Android Wear™ specification

anyd3v : Moto 360 is the worst in performance. Although beautiful, of course, to madness. But brake and quick-setting. But in general, this will most likely be corrected in the second version. There are six to eight Android Wear devices on the market in total: LG G Watch, Sony Smartwatch 3, Samsung (uh, I don’t remember exactly what it’s called, probably some Chicken McGelexi es-something), LG G Watch R, ASUS ZenWatch, LG Watch Urbane and Huawei Watch - that's all I remember. The last two are already almost next-generation, in fact, a transitional generation, berries are not waiting for us until summer. Now of the above, it probably makes sense to take only the G Watch R - it will be something like the top Nexus in the world of watches.
Android Wear has become a noticeably more promising platform than Tizen due to the fact that the world has taken the path of native integration, in which there are two ecosystems that include smartwatches - this is Android (+Auto+TV+Wear [+Glass, which has been postponed for now]) + Chrome OS and Apple iOS + CarPlay + TV + OS X + Watch. There's also an ecosystem from Microsoft (which also includes a mobile and desktop OS, an in-car and living room [as xbox] offering, and AR/VR via HoloLens, but has underdeveloped support for wearables, which so far has only been represented by the Band fitness band. .
Tizen, on the other hand, although it is a platform that includes devices of all the mentioned types, is supported by an extremely small number of devices on the market. The platform offers the principle of openness, i.e. the ability to interact with any devices on the market and free development, but, also because of this, it does not have a formed ecosystem and cannot yet be properly developed.
If you use a smartphone on Tizen, or on another OS other than Android and iOS, then Tizen in hours is definitely your choice. If you're using Android or iOS then you need Wear or Watch respectively, although these wearable platforms are much younger than the generic Tizen, they're being overgrown with third-party apps at a tremendous rate, due to the ease of development for an already rich developer base for their respective mobile OSes and centralized support from such giants as Google and Apple.
