Looks like Apple is dropping the Series 1 and Series 2. Not completely unexpected.
 
The next obvious question will be when will they drop support for Series 3? Considering they'll be selling them right up until the announcement of the series 6 at the very least, I'm guessing the series 3 will be supported through at least watchOS 9, perhaps even 10.

Good question because the 3 is much, much more efficient than the Series 2. A huge jump in performance too.
 
Is anyone thinking of getting the first available Apple Watch public beta? I'm wondering whether it means you can revert back to watchOS 6.

You can’t connect the watch to a computer so can’t go back to an older version. Only update if you have a spare watch.
 
There is for the first time this year. That's what intrigued me about why Apple is finally allowing it.

Hmmmm, there was a rumour some time ago about some possibility of a recovery capability for the watch. What's the source for public beta information please?

Tim Cook announced it at the end of the WWDC keynote, he clearly said something like "for the first time, a public beta of WatchOS 7"
 
I hope the series 3 gets the new watch faces, the current selection is tired.
 
I’ve got the Nike series 3 and I know what you mean about the watchfaces.....but no way will they let you have new ones, they want you to upgrade. I feel a bit cheated I had series 0 so I feel as someone who adopted the technology from the start they could reward my loyalty with some faces.....it’s not as if I’m asking for the moon on a stick.
