SDB tool doesn't recognize connected Gear S on Mac OS

Just bought a Samsung Gear S and trying to connect it to my computer for development. I enabled USB debugging in watch options and when I connect watch to my computer I see it being recognized at least by Photos app which offers options to import. 

When I execute 'sdb devices' and doesn't display anything. I tried killing and restarting sdb server - no luck. Tried attaching watch to different USB ports, still the same. 

Default Java version on my machine is Java8, does it make difference? 

Any help appreciated

Resolved my problem by installing Samsung Smart Switch app to my computer, and after reboot I can finally work with my Gear S! What a frustrating experience with this Tizen platform!!!
