Smartwatch software support lags well behind smartphone pledges, even from Google and Samsung, but this really shouldn’t be the case.

I ended up going back to the watch of my childhood; a Timex Ironman Indiglo. Until laws are passed that require smartwatch makers to open the devices for FOSS ROM development once the model has reached the end of its lifecycle, I don’t much see the point of owning one.
Just because the watch doesn’t get software updates doesn’t turn it into a brick. It still does everything it used to do until something breaks.
The original Apple Watch “Series 0” still works fine with the latest iPhones and iOS. I’m not sure about android wear devices but I’d assume they work fine too.
