Apple Watch Series 1 Now Obsolete

[MacRumors]

Apple now considers second-generation Apple Watch Series 1 models released in 2016 to be obsolete, according to the company's vintage and obsolete products list.

Apple updated the list to move the Series 1 Apple Watch models from the vintage section to the obsolete section, as it has now been more than seven years since the devices were last offered for sale. The Series 1 models were sold alongside the Apple Watch Series 2 models, and were the successor to the original Apple Watch models. The Series 1 Apple Watch was almost identical to the original Apple Watch, but it had a faster S1P processor.

Apple products are considered vintage five years after they were last distributed for sale, while a product is considered obsolete at the seven year mark. Vintage products can still be repaired at Apple retail stores and by Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASPs) if the required parts are available, but products that are obsolete are no longer repairable and Apple does not provide parts.

Surprised it lasted that long

I've had S0/3/4/7/U/U2 and AW continues to be my favorite device ...

 

[Internaut]

For a smart watch, that's a pretty decent innings.

I still have never worn one. And will never wear one.

I have an Apple Watch Series 0 somewhere. Stainless Steel. And an Apple Watch Series 4 Space Black Stainless Steel DLC bulletproof in a drawer too.

Currently using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Black from last fall.

When I read the headline I thought of the Twilight Zone episode "Obsolete Man". One of my favorites.

 

[AgeOfSpiracles]

I could have told you that. Can't imagine still using it for anything but the time and notifications.

I got one when they first came out, took forever to turn on lol and battery wasn't super great, but was still cool at the time.

Using the Ultra 2 with the Oxy sensor, prob wait to upgrade until they get the oxygen sensor going again on the new ones

I still have never worn one. And will never wear one.

Do you comment on every device you never owned or wont own? Must be exhausting to comment.

 

[t0rqx]

Surprised it lasted that long

Because of this comment, they will obsolete 5 generations straight next year.

 

[BornAgainMac]

What about that gold one? The original Apple Watch. Can the gold be salvage and resold to reclaim the loss?

 

[bmark]

I consider any Apple Watch obsolete once they stop receiving new watch OS updates.

 

[rcread]

So is there some ceremony where I have to retire it or something?

 

[Howard2k]

I still have never worn one. And will never wear one.

Don't leave us hanging. Please give us a complete list of all products you've never used and will never use.

 

[Mackan]

Phased out just when Apple wants. Total control.

 

[guyxye]

I still take my series 0 out once a month to charge. Seems like just yesterday I had bought it.

 

[The Cockney Rebel]

I still have never worn one. And will never wear one.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[Dr McKay]

I still have never worn one. And will never wear one.

Genuine question, why did you feel the need to share this on an article specifically about it? Do you do this on all the articles about Apple products you don’t own?

 

[JohannesO]

It was so bad. Like the original iPhone.

 

[Silverado]

Awww. It was an instant classic!

 

[Wanted797]

I've had S0/3/4/7/U/U2 and AW continues to be my favorite device ...

Gee what do you do to them? I assume you just want the new one?

I’ve only had S0 and S5. Still wearing the S5.

The second Apple Watch was called the Apple Watch Series 1? Classic Apple math.

Hope the people who paid 10K for the edition enjoys their obsolence
