It is not clear why older Apple Watch models won't be getting the update at launch.
September 19 is just one day before new Apple Watch Series 5 models are expected to begin shipping out. Apple Watch Series 5 pre-orders are available starting today on Apple.com.

Probably delaying it for performance reasons or something similar.
For what I use it for the series 2 is still working great. I’m waiting to upgrade when the battery life is significantly extended. I thought today might have been the day!Out of interest, did the Series 5 not tempt you to upgrade? Even the series 4 is a massive jump over the 2.
Blah blah blah
nice comment. Keep at it[doublepost=1568144633][/doublepost]
Have the say I was stunned they didn't rev the hardware on the Series 5. Have a 3 and was slammed dunk for a update, but with Series 4 internals and a for sure hardware update with Series 6, now I'll have to think about it. I'm okay with raising my 3 to have the display come on (not a draw for me).
Wait one more year. I’m sure next years version will be a “full” upgrade.Same with the iPhone btw
