Apple Watch Series 1 has been designated as obsolete
The Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2, which were launched in 2016 and 2015 respectively, have been classified as obsolete by Apple. This means that these models are no longer available for purchase, and they are no longer eligible for repair or service from Apple.
The Apple Watch Series 1, the second model of the Apple Watch, was the successor to the original model, which was retroactively named Series 0. The Series 1 introduced several improvements, including GPS and water resistance, making it the true successor to the first Apple Watch.
Sales of the Apple Watch Series 1 were discontinued in 2020, and it was classified as obsolete in 2021. The Apple Watch Series 2, which was added to the obsolete list in November 2024, joined the Series 1 on this list.
Being classified as obsolete means that the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 are considered outdated in terms of technology and features. They are no longer supported by Apple with software updates, and Apple has stopped providing replacement parts for these models because they reached the end of their service period. Typically, Apple offers service and parts for at least five years after a product is discontinued, and then classifies it as obsolete, ending official support and parts availability.
However, this does not mean that those who still have the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 are completely out of luck. Spare parts for these models have run out, meaning that those who still have the model can only get spare parts from third-party workshops. It is important to note that using non-genuine parts may void the warranty and could potentially lead to issues with the device.
In conclusion, the classification of the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 as obsolete means that these models are no longer available for purchase and are no longer supported by Apple with software updates or replacement parts. Owners of these devices should be aware of the potential risks of using non-genuine parts and consider upgrading to a newer model if possible.
