Just had my watch update overnight. After discovering it had downloaded the update last night to the phone (a new mini 12), I was unable to cancel or stop the update even with automatic updates off and spending over thirty minutes interacting with Apple Support. The next best thing to a solution we tried was to put the watch in airplane mode while charging... and it still updated (which means it had already loaded the update to the watch).

If anyone's trying to avoid losing force touch, be mindful of the potential forced update.

How did you pair your watch with the new 12 mini? I am unable to pair my series 5 with watchOS 6 to my 12 pro max without updating to watchOS 7.
