Recently I talked about Tizen OS in a post about DATA Streamr coin. @throwawayaccount mentioned Tizen OS sucks, I won't disagree with him but I will share my experience with the platform.
A big part of why I ever made anything for Tizen is because they had a cool conference and gave us free stuff including smart watches :-)
That and the apps were all HTML/JS based, part of why the platform was lacking, but made creating quick prototypes easier.
I'll share some photos of me at the conference here as well as the prototypes I made.

Prototypes
We all tried to make some interesting prototypes for the Tizen app store. I made mine in the weeks following the conference. Published them and even made a bit of money but lost interest in the whole smart watch thing not long after.
Running Bird
A watch app where the speed of your movement would increase your virtual pet's progress through an animated map.
Puzzle Alarm
A basic alarm clock with a catch. The only way to turn it off is by solving a puzzle.
Basic Speedometer
Just a speedometer to tell you how fast you're moving via watch while biking or running.
