I have a S0 SS still running 2.2.1 - I was wanting to keep it at 2.2.1 for collectible/nostalgic reasons - the OS will change over time and later on it would be cool to see the original watch running early software. (For example, the side button no longer brings up the circular list of contacts)
The only problem is that the Watch was unpaired with a device and is now back at the pairing screen.
Now, the Watch won't allow setup until the OS is updated to presumably 3.x.x which is not my desire but I can't seem to get any function out of the Watch without doing so.
I am met with this message
"To finish pairing, your Apple Watch must be running the latest versions of watchOS."
The only options I have are
Update Now
Skip the Update and Exit Set Up
Is anyone aware of a workaround that would at least allow me to use the Watch to some degree without updating it beyond 2.2.1?
