I am considering picking up a Series 8 Apple Watch that was shipped with watchOS 9 and selling my Series 7 running watchOS 10 (which cannot be downgraded).
Here is the problem... if I pair the new Series 8 Apple Watch with my iPhone running iOS 17 as a "new watch" will the setup process still install watchOS 10 even if I set it up as a new watch instead of restoring it from the backup?
If I can get back to watchOS 9 this way, it may be worth it.
