Not sure where you were getting your news, but Stagemanager doesn't work on any Apple Watch.Stagemanager 2.0 and another lie.
I think they probably know this.Dear Apple, this won’t encourage people to upgrade their watches. New health sensors will.
New watchOS features are getting boring.
You may have missed it, but select Apple Watch models are gaining a new Wrist Flick gesture in watchOS 26 that allows users to dismiss notifications and return to their watch face with a simple wrist movement.

The gesture works by turning your wrist over and back, using the accelerometer and gyroscope to detect the motion. With the gesture, you can dismiss incoming notifications, mute calls, silence alarms and alerts, and return to the watch face without needing to use your other hand.
Wrist Flick joins the existing Double Tap gesture as another one-handed control option for Apple Watch users. The feature can be toggled on or off in Settings ➝ Gestures ➝ Wrist Flick.
The new gesture is only available on Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 – the same models that support the Double Tap gesture.
Apple doesn't say exactly why older models don't support the feature, despite having the same sensors, but it does use a new machine learning model, suggesting that only the newer chips found in recent Apple Watch models are powerful enough to handle it.

The watchOS 26 beta is currently available through the Apple Developer Program, with a public beta coming later this month, followed by a general release in the fall.

Not true. S6/7/8 are using small cores (Thunder) of A13 Bionic. S9/10 are based on the small cores (Sawtooth) of A16 Bionic. With that you inherit the NPU features of each generation. Also they have much faster LPDDR5 memory.The CPU and RAM haven the same since S6!
Just planned obsolescence…
Or maybe running anything at all. Idk, maybe older models aren’t possible to be booted without the power of AI chips. Maybe powering the screen needs AI chips too.Are they going to hide all new basic features that they limit to newer devices behind AI? Older models can't even use an accelerometer anymore without AI apparently.
Like a blood glucose monitor.
Hallelujah!!
I gave away my Apple Watch 8 because every time I wanted to know the time, it was telling me to "stand-up", heart-rates, notification from scammers, reminders, step-count, etc.
I "JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE DAMN FREAKING TIME!!"
So, I bought a cheap Timex.
Absolutely! That is, if you can locate the Notification options after a iOS update. Apple has added so many features and apps into their watch that it has become exasperating to control and modify. There was no way to delete unwanted apps and functions. Yes, Apple Watch is impressive an impressively engineered device that has many benefits but it has become the equivalent to this....Even cheaper would have been to turn off the notifications you didn't want to see.
Link to buy! It’s a must have.😅 I know it is a made up image but would be awesome to flip up that next time someone want to show off their new knife. ”You call that a knife?”Absolutely!

It's kinda hard to find the function you want to use when you have so many functions to navigate through.
Crash detection but no flicky flicky. Got it.So any watch can detect whether your whole body is standing, but only special watches can determine whether the watch itself was just quickly rotated. 🤔
Marketing told them to say that.Dawg… how is this not possible on slightly older watches?? Like what on earth
Not sure where you were getting your news, but Stagemanager doesn't work on any Apple Watch.
New watches have ECG so don’t know what you are making up about…ECG or new watches flicky flicky? Maybe not tough call after all.
Reminds me of the folks who say they hate notifications on iOS vs Android but don’t actually change the settingsEven cheaper would have been to turn off the notifications you didn't want to see.
Dear Apple, this won’t encourage people to upgrade their watches. New health sensors will.
No. The S9/S10 use a different SIP. Do a little work before ya complain, which might still do, saying that they should find a way to make new features work on all devices, regardless of whether it sucks in practice.The CPU and RAM haven the same since S6!
