I know iOS 13 does. Given that iOS 14 further renames the Activity app to Fitness (I think?), I wonder if this is the year they're making the cutoff? I still have a Series 0 Watch and can't find any information on whether it will still be able to push its Activity data to iOS 14.

I saw David Smith, a prominent Apple Watch developer tweet about this right after the keynote I think.

This is the first update to watchOS that cuts off the original Apple Watch.

Thankfully, I just got my wife upgraded to a Series 5 after the face came undone and I had upgraded last year after my Series 0 screen cracked.

EDIT: But I'm an idiot and misread the question. That's a good point. I wonder if the data wills till sync or whether they're just not going to send data over any longer?

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.

I'm confused. You're linking to something from 2018 — yes, watchOS 5 won't run on the Series 0 (and watchOS 7 won't run on the Series 1 and 2). But Activity sync with the current iOS (and non-current watchOS) still worked.

Anyway, someone from reddit assures me it works for them…

There was another tweet that I saw that he mentioned cutting off support.

Definitely didn't read the date and replied too early.

I'll leave it to show how much of a fool I was.

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.
