For anyone wondering: all AppleWatches older than the S6 Chip are being cancelled, basically Series 5 and below is dead.
Well then, farewell Series 3. You’ve been a great companion since 2017. I will enjoy the time we still have together, until you finally decorate the rainbow arm when crossing into the big drawer up in the skies. May you be reunited with the Series 0.
It’s not like they brick the old devices.
My OG Apple Watch still worked fine in the interim period between when my S4 broke and I replaced it.
Welp I guess that’s the end of the line for my ceramic Series 5. We had a good run.
I seriously doubt it, but if there’s another ceramic watch this year I will 100% buy it.
I’m gonna keep using my old watch until I see a compelling reason to upgrade (like built in blood pressure or blood sugar readings). So far I haven’t seen any new hardware or software updates that feel like must haves.
My wife wanted to upgrade so we both got new Series 9 this year. Her Series 3 went to her mom as an upgrade to a Fitbit, and I figure I’ll keep wearing mine at work until it gets smashed or otherwise dies. All of our Macs are well past macOS support, but no real plans to upgrade until an old one actually dies, or some killer feature prompts an upgrade.
