I really, really don’t understand why everyone wants updates.
As a tech guy, working in software development, I absolutely hate this trend of providing updates just for the sake of it, cramming functions in devices that were not originally planned, leaving new bugs and new “battery drain” issues.

ven my electric car has regular OTA updates every 4-8 weeks.
OTA updates in a car sounds like hell, I buy a car, I expect it to work correctly from day one, and never stop working correctly, and sure as hell don’t want to have an extra “cloud feature” or “subscription only heated seats” or “we’ve updated our privacy policy !”
I want stuff I can depend on, I want reliable, predictable behavior, especially for something I will use every day (not to mention, something that could kill me or other people in the case of cars)
I want bugfixes only, and this is a hill I will die on !
Rant finished, you may resume your normal activities
100% this! I buy a watch for the features it has at that moment, and of course it is nice to get new features, but it is not a hard requirement (as long as there are bug fixes or small improvements of the features that exists)!
