This is really exciting to me personally. I was gonna buy a series 10 just for that reason until I learned that not all faces could do that. Now several of my faces are on that list, and I'm upgrading to series 10. Sure, I could hold for S11, but I wanted the S10 since launch for this and internal speakers.

Those two and California, as well as Modular Compact.

Modular Compact.

Alas, not on the list.

Unfortunately. Maybe they'll get all the faces on there by watchOS27

U2 does not have the new (2024) display tech because it was released 2023. ¯\_ツ_/¯

Doesn't have the display technology of the S10

It's nailed on to be a feature on the Ultra 3 though
