dropping Series 9 seems kinda rough... it's only 3 years old.

Yeah, WTAF, I have a series 9. It still feels new to me. What will it not be able to do? Have they said yet?

Update to the new watchOS, but apparently that's not accurate according to what someone else said.

Article header now says series 8

I got a series 3 for $50. What more do I need a watch to do other than: tell the time, count my steps, notify of my messages when I can’t have my phone on me at work?
I scoff at your update, Apple.

Just casually dropping 3 generations at once. Nice move Apple.
