Thinking about never updating to watchOS 10 (alien.top)

I’m on 9.6.3 on my SE (latest) and I’m so terrified of what everyone is saying about terrible battery life on the new OS. I’m perfectly happy on it, and I don’t see any of the (few) new “features” are worth it. Any thoughts?

I’m attempting the same as well, at least for as long as I can. I really enjoy 9 and the design and usability of lots of things. (User since WatchOS4)

However I’m getting my 14 pro replaced through Apple care soon and I’m worried it will force me to update, as it typically does when you re-pair. I’m going to research whether there’s a difference as far as an iCloud restore vs iPhone to iPhone transfer in regard to it forcing a watch update.

It wont once you transfer from Iphone to Iphone, I Just got the Iphone 15 and I am still on watchOS 9 no update needed for the watch.
